Replacing Headliner?
Was wondering if anyone knew anywhere online, or elsewhere where I could find a replacement headliner for a grey '01 3rd gen w/sunrrof. Mine is pretty shot, whevere had the truck before me screwed a flip down monitor in it, and also cut it. Other than that it is just plain scudgy. I have a feeling this is going to have to be salvage yard find. Also, anyone know how hard this is to do, is there any special adhesive or anything? Thanks,

this tells you how to take it off. looks like it'll just slide out the back hatch.

when you figure how to take it off, you might be able to just get some fabric and spray adhesive and have a buddy stretch it while you spray the fab on top. i saw a show once and they did this, looked clean but depends on fabric you buy i guess!

Actually I was there because I took my mom out to lunch and she wanted to go in there. But the headliner stuff looks pretty nice. Its foam backed and sells by the yard.It looks similar to factory material. Maybe you can remove the old one and trace its shape onto the new material, cut it and install it that way? Good luck to ya!

the new headliner is $700 from the stealer, I checked, lol. Whoever had the 4runner before me put permanent vacumn marks in it, also seems that they vacumned most of the fuzzy material off.

wow wow wow, $700 for basically a piece of carboad with fabric. Hmm, I don't know what route I'm gonna go on this, whoever had mine actually cut the dome light whole about an inch deeper on 3 sides of the dome light, which could be dealt with using a generic dome, but that still doesnt take care of the places where they used screws to mount the LCD. I left it intact, and it covers everything, I might just leave it that way, but it rattles around a lot, and I havent used it once since owning.

The only charge around 125 for a toyota 4 dr corolla.So if it was around 200 to 250 that would be cheaper than 700 big ones.I watched the guy do it.Its not that its hard you just have to use industrial spray adhesive.He just ripped off the old material cleaned and scraped the old glue off and sprayed glue on.Then he layed the new material on it and spread it out with a bondo spreader.It took all of an hour and he was finished.He said the trick was in the glue.the cheap stuff wont hold up.

Mine isn't really a fabric those, it is like a craboard with a texture sprayed on, I actually tried to seperate the "fabric" from the boards, and it peels like paper, I am assuming that they could just put upholstery over it. If you have a 3rd gen, try knocking on the headliner, there is no foam backing, and it is not cloth. Kinda weird, but I have to see about all of this, NJ is extremely expensive for anything I got a quote of $350 to reupholster those felt inserts on my doors)and that was if I removed them and brought them in)
