I just finished doing mine tonight. I wish I had done some things differently. I am not sure I spread the glue right. I am not sure I laid the fabric down right... It does look much better than before but I am not entirely as happy as I had hoped considering the amount of money I spent. The fabric alone from Sunbelt in Dallas was about 50.
I heard a guy in McKinney(outside Dallas) got his done at a shop for $75. I probably would have been more than happy to take it there instead of do it on my own.
Yeah, I've done a couple in my day and my take away was that by the time you spend a bunch of dough on the fabric and the multiple cans of spray glue (the 3M stuff is like $20 per can, if I remember) you've already blown through $100 to $150. Then there are some things you really have to do a couple of times to really get the hang of. I think headliners are one of them.
My LWB Rangie headliner job lasted about 3 months. Too much humidity in Atlanta on the day I did it, I think.
I covered a piece of pegboard for the headliner on my Scout. That was totally flat and perfectly rectangular. I still managed to get a spot of glue on the wrong side of the fabric and leave a palm indentions in a couple of other areas. It's a messy job and it's not very forgiving if you make a little mistake.
I'll be removing my DII headliner and taking it to a pro. That thing is a funky shape!
