Re: Headliner question.

Not saying this is the right, or wrong way to do it.. but it's just how we did it.

Put your headliner up, and position it where you want it without the velcro in place. Using a wax pencil or something that will wipe off (of course) make yourself a reference line on the center across the front
and of course the other three sides. I just make a line on the headliner and onto the cab roof so I could line them back up once the velcro is in place.

Take the headliner back down

The wider size velcro fits perfectly in the recessed area where it's kinda stamped into the roof of the cab. It's almost like it was meant to be mounted this way. Cut to fit the length for all the recessed areas. I peeled the sticky side protection film
stuff off the cab roof side. Clean with alcohol to remove any wax.. (at your own risk)

With the cab side sticky.. go ahead and put the velcro up. Leaving the prote tion film on the headliner side. This will allow you to really push it down good.

Peel the sticky side protector film stuff off.. and carefully line your headliner back up with your reference lines.

Press into place.


I promise you.. it is incredibly strong stuff. Fwiw, I would do it this way again. The thickness of the velcro will put the headliner and the recessed area flush with each other, it doesn't poke out.. I was really happy with how it turned out.
