Hi Guys,
Does anyone on here know a rough cost on getting a headliner installed? i dont yet have one but can get one cheap enough. im located in Gippsland/Melbourne area. ive heard vinyl is a pain to work with so whatever works out cheaper.

Thanks,
Matt

Time and patience and have a crack yourself

Not that I have ever done one.
LOTS of info on you tube

The felt is easier than the vinyl

Thank you for the reply Bizarre, i did give it a go a while back but the spray adhesive i used (sellys kwik grip) wouldnt seem to hold. Any ideas on what adhesive i should use?

A good trade quality contact cement applied with a brush as per the instructions works well and it also helps to have someone helping stretch the trim into place on a nice warm day.
