Carpet And Head Liner?

[racin4JC]

I was wondering if anyone knew how to replace the carpet in our cars and how to do headliner? Thanks for the help and input to everyone in advance!

headliner? That's a good question! Last I heard of someone trying to do that, they couldn't put the dome light or the little cubby thing back in (the thing that looks like it should have OnStar in it) If there's a good answer, I'd like to know too. (I actually want to put a black one in...)

I was thinkin of white or a nice blue sort of like an electric blue! Blue for the carpet for sure but undecided on headliner!

After I get the carpet out what do I do just go buy some interior/exterior carpet and glue it in or does it have to get molded?

that is not carpet on the roof of your car.... it's more of a felt type material.... simply take down the old and glue on the new... i don't see the dome light being a problem, but i do see the small overhead compartment being a problem... auto headliners (http://www.discountfoamproducts.com/automotive.htm)

The interior/exterior carpet deal I was talking about was for the floor!

carpet will fall into place once you have your cutout holes

Just a question about removing the headliner. I recently purchased a flip down LCD unit that i want to put in where the overhead compartment is. I don't know where to start in getting the headliner down!!! My overhead light comes off easily as i've taken it down to change the bulbs to blue LEDs, and i'm just gonna rip the old overhead compartment off anyways to put in the LCD, but how does the freakin liner come off? Do the coat hooks have to come off, what about the interior moulding going up to the roof, do i just pull them straight off, or are there clips that i'll break? I'm gonna put new fabric on the roof as well while its down, (to match my door panels, armrest, steering wheel, glove box, sunvisors and passengers side airbag) its just thin stretchy material but i don't want it to sag, any ideas what kind of glue i should use? Any help would be great. thanx
