Headliner Reapir Ideas....anyone?

Does anyone know a good way to repair a few nice sized holes and tears in a headliner short of ripping it out. I want to patch up sevearl rips/tears and have been looking for headliner patch kits or something a long the lines and havnt had much luck. I dont need it to look like a show car just something that does the job and could blend in a bit. Some kind of vinyl repair kit ot vinyl patch would be great. anyone have any ideas??

 

I patched 2 holes in the back of mine. I used the seat vinyl patch kits you can get online or in stores. Came out decent, doesn't stand out unless you look for it.

 

Maybe find someone that is replacing theirs, and get some material from them?

 

i just used black duct tape to fix mine till i can afford to get it fixed by a pro

 

What color is you headliner?

 

black. i was thinking about duct tape too for now, just to help keep it from ripping more untill i can get it replaced down the road. im gonna stop buy a couple auto parts stores today tho and also check out a vinyl repair kit and see if thats what im looking for.

 

I just replaced my black headliner and I'm gonna keep the old one to check fit on new ones but I could cut you a few chunks out if you'd like them.

 

i know this post is a little old but what type of seat patch did you use?

 

I used one that you can find in most auto parts stores and online. It's a vinyl repair kit.

 

ok, ill take a quick look

 

Since your headliner is black and you are thinking of taping it ... I would like to suggest Gorilla Tape.

It does not shrink over time like duct tape, and does not leave a lot of residue behind either, and it is black.

 

well i guess ill have to try to get some of that for my headliner.
