fixing non-leather headliner in 360

I re-did my leather headliner a few months back, I used the stock headliner, Joann Fabrics headliner for the cushion, and 3M headliner adhesive. If you want to upgrade to leather, I would suggest getting a high quality hide and cutting it down to size (I would leave a bit to trim off when you see how the trim pieces fit) and use that. It's a messy job but doable. I'm not a pro but I'm not aware of any avenue you could take that doesn't involve removing the headliner itself.

 

I also have a non leather headliner in my 430. At first, it fell down partially. I tried to put some headliner adhesive on it and put it back up. It was easy to put in place with a DULL plastic putty knife. It held for about a week, but then fell again. So I took the whole thing down. As soon as I get the car back from the dealership doing the F1 actuator rebuild, I’ll try again, using that Joann stuff and some 3M headliner adhesive. The one thing I plan on doing is to prop it up with something soft and shape conforming to hold it up while drying. Obviously not enough pressure to push and bend the outer roof panel.
Personally I’m tired of having to fix things on this car that never happened to any other car I’ve owned and there’s been plenty.
RANT OVER !!!!!
Good Luck To Y’all

 

I re-did mine with leather. Also did the back firewall. It looks much much better. I have half a Hyde left of beige. PM me, I can sell you back a piece. I don’t have a picture of it installed but a few pics of the process.

The ticket is alcantera headliner like the Challenge Stradale.

There are 3M adhesives and then there are 3M Adhesives. You need the right one.

 

There are a lot of companies that sell headliner upholstery products online (and very affordable). The stuff that they sell has the foam already on the back and there a a bunch of colors to choose from. The key is removing the headliner board and getting it totally clean of the old deteriorated foam backed headliner. Use a good contact cement-- the old caustic stuff-- and it will be fine. I have used the contact cement that the Formica guys use with great results.

Good luck, regards, Ken

 

i just had a really well regarded high end upholstery shop redo mine as part of my restoration. I chose a black alcantara (suede). There were several other options of materials.

old piece after the cloth had completely fallen down and i'd manually removed most of the foam so it would stop falling on my head:

I need better lighting for better pictures whenever the grey skies go away.

Anyways - i had the shop save the templates and they can produce them for anyone who is interested. I have no commercial interest but just wanted to pass along the info.

it's a semi-flexible headliner material that then has a rubber back suede permanently glued to it. it is cut to the exact dimensions needed for the 360 and has the right flexibility to adhere to the curve of the roof. It can be held in place with a really strong body tape (which is what my shop used) or he recommended a 100% silicone caulk.

cost as produced was $250, plus applicable shipping/tax for the version produced for me.
