One Piece Headliner Boards
This is a foam backed cloth was laminated to a molded cardboard or fiberglass panel. This board is held in place by surround moldings.
Over time, from the sun beating on the roof and our weather conditions, the foam backing begins to disintegrate, and thus the cloth lining begins to droop. This cloth cannot be simply glued back up because the backing has become powdery and will not stick. If you've tried it, you know it turns into a mess. The only solution is to remove the board from the car, scrape off all the old foam and cloth and reply the laminated fabric back onto the board. Stop by today and have us look at your headliner - we can match up a color and set you up a day to bring it to us for replacement.
Sunvisors, Pillars & Overhead Consoles
(Recovered to match the new headliner)
Extra's to think about:
If the headliner is replaced and the sunvisors are not recovered, they will stand out like a sore thumb. Likewise, other components like overhead consoles, trim panels, etc., will look old and worn.
Whether they are old style cloth visors with leather finger tabs, or visors with piping and chrome tips, or visors with vanity mirrors, we can make them look new again.
Other items, such as the front windshield pillars or the rear sail panels next to the rear windshield take a beating from the sun. These, as well as other trim pieces should ideally be recovered when the main headliner is being done.
Suspended "bow " style Headliners
Antique & Classic Cars
For an original restoration, Broadcloth or Mohair wools are available. napped cotton or synthetic cloths offer a nice finished appearance. Matching headliner material is usually also used to cover the lower trim panels and sunvisors. In addition, may classic cares also require windlace to be installed in conjunction with the headliner. The windlace generally runs along the roof line and around the door openings.
Street Rods
Anything goes, including the use of tweed clothes, suede's or even geometric designs sewn right into the headliner.
Muscle Cars
A nice new headliner in another important part of complete restoration. Most cars of these era had a variety of textured vinyl headliner .
