LMC Cloth Headliner Reviews?

Any opinions on LMC's cloth headliners? I need one for my '85 white-on-blue GMC.

I'm going to attempt to recover my original in alcantara. the lmc one is pretty expensive to me.

do you know how hard it is to recover your old one? have one that the cloth has fallen away from the foam and was thinking about doing mine myself as well. also how hard is it to get the correct cloth?

There is a pretty good "how-to" on this somewhere in the forum.

This doesn't answer the op's question but may help others with headliner repair. Skip to the last two post and read the how to. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ight=headliner

Re: LMC Cloth Headliner Reviews?

It's probably one of the easiest interior fixes you can do. The fabric is available from online retailers by the yard (it's foam-backed) and even at some local stores. You have to remove the old material and glue down to a smooth surface, apply glue and foam, trim and done! (my version, I'd recommend you tube for some vids).

$20 material and adhesive here: http://www.yourautotrim.com/headlinerkits.html

Re: LMC Cloth Headliner Reviews?

I've been happy with my LMC headliner. Put it in a few years ago and no issues. I like the molded plastic backing versus the original carboard.
