A.D. headliners

I bought the stock cardboard headliner for my truck but I'm not completely satisfied with the look. I have some perforated vinyl laying around that I thought about using to cover it but was concerned about the additional weight causing premature sagging. Anyone tried this? Pic?

That stuff is pretty stiff and I don't think you would have a problem. It's pretty well supported too. Make sure you use the correct adhesive and follow the directions though.

Re: A.D. headliners

should be ok that is how alot of custom headliners are done.It is the way I am planning to do mine as i am too lazy to cut the palel board.
Just use a good contact cement{3M] and let it dry till just slightly tacky or you wont be able to pull iup if you have wrinkels. when you get it where you want it press harder and it will bond.
