Headliner fabrics.

[ramdough]

All,

What are you using?

Where did you get it?

Is it DOT approved? Fire rated? Does it need to be?

I am about to make my panels…. Need to finalize the material.

I filled in all the crevices with insulating foam. you can see the results from my FLIR camera. then I'll do a layer of mylar bubble heat shield then a thin tempered fiber board headliner covered with the same fabric I used on my door panels. that I got from Costco

I am diving into this same project and just took delivery of the following fabric: Marine Upholstery Fabric
I have not installed it yet so can't speak real world performance yet or how easy it is to work with.

The DOT can KMA if they want to regulate my custom headliner material...

I'll use what looks good and lasts.

LOL



I've gotten some swatches from these guys.

I've used their marine vinyl and neoprene before, too.

I don't suppose I could get 13 ft of that roll for $100? I definitely don't need 60 ft of it. Just enough for the back panel and ceiling panel. Or divide that role into four 15-ft sections and sell individually.

I am almost done with cutting my plywood. What glue do you recommend. I saw Chucky listed a glue. Any other suggestions?

Did anyone paint or treat the plywood? I am using 1/4 ply.

DAP weldwood hhr contact cement is what you want for glue, standard in custom car audio shops. I don't know about pre-treating plywood. MDF is all I've ever used, it's about 100x easier to work with than plywood.

I glued carpet on one side and glued the chrome bubble rap to the other side for insulation .

I chose pontoon boat deck carpeting. This stuff is cheap, no pattern to match, soft, and I think looks good.
