Sorry guys, but i had to do it. After reading... and reading i got tired, and broke down and made a thread.... Shameful

But where on earth can i find the material to match my tan headliner. Like Hobby Lobby, Walmart, and some other fabric place i went to didnt have anything like it... Geeze

Is there a place online that i can order from?

a fabric store is your best bet i just went to jo-ann fabric im not sure if you got one in your town but they have everything for cheap and you can take home samples of every thing they have to match up to your car something you cant do with online stores .

yeah, best bet is to go to a fabric store. if you have friends who are in fashion designing, they'll be able to tell you the best place.

are you wanting the same kind of material...that foam junk? if so good luck finding it...why not just get a new headliner from honda? i think they are like 80 bucks.
i have done mine in suede and gabardine wool

you can get them done at certain auto shops. in my old car it was like 125 to get it redone since my @$$hole friend ripped it down and refused to pay. but i agree, get some nice fabric that isnt all rough and junk and have someone fit it for your ceiling

is there a way to remove and reinstall the stock one without breaking it? i have ideas but cant seem to figure out how to pull it off. everytime i try it feels like im gonna rip glue apart and it wont go back on.

or you can do it yourself for just the cost of the fabric ,hot glue,and 3M fabric adhesive you can get at any auto store.its not hard to do and you get the satisfaction and knowledge of doing it yourself.there are plenty off good DIYs on the net.

Yep. take the dome lights off- screws are under the plastic overs (take off with razor blade), then take off all pillars. Recline your seats back, pull off the door weather stripping, but be careful because there are two tabs that hold it up on the back.. they are the style as the ones that hold your door panel on- just get your fingers under the rear lip and pull it down before removing the weather stripping, or drop the headliner and push down on the fabricless side to get them to pop out. To get it out of your car you just need to lean the seats back, and if that doesnt work, then remove the center console (where the shifter is) to give you more room and lift your steering wheel up.

I just pulled out clints a couple weeks ago and at some point I am sticking it back in mine.

1. do all the dome lights
2. pop off the A,B,&C, pillar
3. unscrew the passenger side handle
4. pop off the caps and unscrew the sun visors
5. the very front and very back of the headliner have pop clips just reach up and yank
6. the center of it has has slide clips we just yanked and they all popped off one broke but if you pull the front and try to pull the whole headliner forward about 2 inches it should slide off and the whole headliner will drop.

this is best if done with 2 people one on each side to help support

is it different with a moonroof?

 
Rep Power: 389

With a moon roof you'll just have to worry about that sliding piece, but it wont affect taking off the headliner at all.

I'm afraid the glue will soak through the fabric doing this or it won't stretch properly to fit all the grooves. I'd like to go black but I'm scared.

 
Rep Power: 812

what about using those special fabric tape strips?

 
Rep Power: 257

get the fabric and cut some off spray the glue on and see what happens .

that was with the moon roof

I just thought I should take this out of context because I laughed when I read it.

^^lol.
black will make the interior seem smaller. its why honda made the top half of the entire lighter in the first place to give the impression of it being more spacious

 
Rep Power: 305

Already tried it, no-one can match the roof's color, and i dont wanna do it any other color, and i dont wanna spend lik $100+ on a new roof

 
Rep Power: 257

remember once you go black you never go back!!!!!!!!!

 
Rep Power: 305

so i take it noone knows where i can get the same fabric someplace online???

 
Rep Power: 389

nope... I know a bunch of places you can get fabric, but nothing with that foam backing.


...btw, I microsueded my headliner before... the fabric fit the contours just fine.

 
Rep Power: 305

thats what im talking about, i dont need the foam crap, i just need the actual material. Like just the fabric

All the fabric places that i have gone to in town cant match the tan color :/

 
Rep Power: 812

joann fabrics? ben franklin, michael's?

 
Rep Power: 305

dont have a ben franklin, or a michaels. And jo-ann couldn't match it :/

Haven't been to a walmart in years but don't they have a fabric section? Would they have what your looking for?
