Hello out there, Any recommendations for a Central Florida automotive upholstery shop to re-glue my headliner to new foam and install it in my 2001 360 Modena coupe? The leather is in great shape and I will clean all of the old glue/foam off first. I believe in word of mouth from satisfied customers before picking an unknown! Again, Ferrari picks crappy materials!!! My rant for the day! Thanks!!!!!
Hey Bockmeister, here's a suggestion. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/florida-sponsored-ferrari-tampa-bay/332051-reputable-automotive-headliner-installers-central-fl.html
I will be bring my car to Tony's Upholstery in Edgewater, FL May 4 so he can see what I got and get a price and time frame to do it. Need to see what he is about before I make a decision on this. To be continued...
Today I went to Tony's Upholstery shop. Very informative!!! I have already removed the leather trim panels that surround the two by three foot piece that fell down. I vacuumed the old crappy foam off the roof. there is a thin (approx. 1/8" thick) panel of insulating material that has to be removed. This will be a Royal PITA!!!! this panel has old adhesive, old foam residue, etc... that will interfere with any new adhesive. We discussed alternatives (Alcantara - lighter weight). I am going to first remove the OEM insulation and am considering using a layer of Dynamat sound absorber and then a layer of Dynaliner for thermal barrier. I will see if I can work with the OEM leather piece and re-glue it to the Dynaliner. I need to do a 'stack up' of material thickness to see if it will be compatible with the trim panels. to be continued...
I thought I would continue this thread as a DIY process under the 360/430 Forum and will add to it as I work my way through this repair. Thanks!
