I'm getting the headliner redone in my G4. Cost is $200 for removing, new material, labor and installation. I couldn't argue with that price!
There's upholstery, and then there's stripping down and upholstering one of these and keeping it intact on the way back in.
It's a pain in the ass. Most upholstery shops butcher the job, and most private owners butcher the job. I'll be painting mine or something when I'm done with the new console up there. There are many options. I've saved every picture that I've seen posted here and noted what was done, just in case I decide to try a particular method.
These would have been better at two-piece units. That's the way I would have done it.
One of the problems is you have to install it at the same location it's been repaired. It's too big to go hauling around elsewhere unless you've got a large van. Trailers and pickups are a no-go, even if you cover it.
As for this thread, I think the camo is ugly, but I'm not driving it, and it's not a performance, safety, or exterior aesthetic issue. That being the case, it's just a matter of fucking around on the weekend and doing something fun. Ugly, but fun.

To each his own I guess. I've done two myself, and it wasn't that bad. You have to be meticulous about it. Mine came out great. I'm a little OCD though.
Where did you source your material? This thread got me thinking about replacing my sagging headliner.
I was looking at this

That's the one.
You'll sure be able to argue with the results, though. :rofl:
I wouldn't smell someone's DII headliner for $200...

$50 for the local Line-X guy to spray it. Did both of our Discovery IIs. Used a shop-vac to get the foam off, took about 30 min per headliner.
I never notice the headliner(s) when driving, but i did notice the sagging fabric.... I recovered the RRC with fabric, but its much simpler, and if it sags before im done with it i'll line-x that one too.
