Does headlining (inc. door posts) require underlay?
Does headlining including the vinyl for the door posts require underlay?
Is it higly recommended? what thickness if so and what product?
thanks guys.
My main concern is the possibility of bumps being seen near the interior light. There appears to be previous smash repairs. the panel beaters didn't
make it 'perfectly' flat... maybe it was under the assumption it would be hidden under the headliner.
All the vinyl sheeting on the posts and the roof channels where the interior light is need to be glued flat down on the body metal?
thanks guys.
any other tips are more than welcome!
regards,
Chris.

When I re-lined my L-bug I didn't fit padding to roof at all and only glued where the lining stretches around the rear quarter window(with window
out) above front doors the tin "clamps" hold it in place and gently hammer home. The area around the interior light shouldn't need padding if the
tin is straight but my bug had padding on the door posts (original) it was in good nick so re-used it. Mind you I'm an amateur so there will be pros
on here who can give you a better answer!

i am keen to do mine also....have not done it before, but
i would have thought you would put something against the roof metal to reduce drumming
and elswhere to reduce other noise.. ie dynamat or equivalent type of stuffs?
obviously some sought of underfelt must be used around door posts or other spots where the lining might rub.

I just did a headliner on the weekend, I use peel foam. It is about 12mm thick. Door posts, roof, around rear window, everywhere the headliner goes.
It looks better, and does have some sound deadening qualities. Try to overlap it over the clamps and tuck it in with the vinyl. It will give a
smoother finish. Remember heat is your friend, buy a heat gun it will make your life much easier. If you need any advice or help, pm me.
mick.

As the owner of the bug Mick just put the headliner into, I'll vouch for that. Looks great :-)

Sounds excellent! where did you buy your 12mm peel foam? cheap?
I think that will be the go , at least offroad when heads are flying
everywhere the pillars are a little softer to headbutt for all passengers lol.

I get it from work, I'll get you some if you want? 2m will be plenty. 20 bucks should cover it.... Or you could go to clarke rubber I suppose. I
think our supplier is trade only. Nolans uda or fabtex at yatala would probably sell it to you.

IS there a particular glue you should use for doing a headliner?

So far only got the headliner in. This weekend it's carpets and welding the seat backs. Hopefully the upholstery can go in next weekend, if I can
get the free time :-) But yep, I'll be posting the photos when it's all done :-)
