If i wanted to do a headliner in a vehicle and possibly on a dash will this hold up? fade properties? what can i expect?

I've only used it on smaller projects that haven't gotten a lot of sun exposure but it hasn't faded and I like the quality. I'd buy it again.

I haven't tried it but I would guess that a slightly textured (but porous) surface like leather or vinyl would probably work really well. Contrarily, a slightly textured, but non-porous, surface (like say, concrete.... I know.... not likely to be found on a dashboard) would not work well. The adhesive is essentially an advanced double-sided tape so I'm basing my opinions on past tape experiences. ;)

I assume that you're wanting to use this on a temporary basis to protected the headliner while you're doing interior work or something. If you're planning on a permanent install, it won't be the most attractive product. But, you should be ok with this as a temporary protectant. It's pretty sticky but shouldn't damage vinyl headliners. On the mouse-fur or velour type headliners, don't press it on too hard and you should still be ok. When you remove it, you'll probably have fibers attached to the sticky but it shouldn't pull it bald. You might also consider using Glad Cling Wrap from your local grocery store. It's similar but thinner. Might be easier to just remove the trim and take the headliner out. Good luck.

No, it won't be. But I think you need to worry about size than brightness. your dashboard might look cumbersome.

I have a 2003 Avalanche, which the dash is not flat. The mount will slide around quite a bit. It does get on my nerves. I only use it at times. For a flat dash it looks like it would do great.

I used the tape on the headliner in my car which was loose. Not the best idea but so far it has held. Also used it to repair a wicker chair that sits outside in the elements and so far it hasn't come loose.

We bought this barrier roughly a year ago and could not be happier with it. I personally went the route of drilling new holes to make the barrier fit. That way if you want to resell it you can fasten the feet to the factory holes. The barrier fits snug, but from what i can tell has not done any damage to the headliner. I had similar concerns. Hope this helps!

If your looking for a indash System, this Pioneer will work fine. You pretty much can get what you want and then the installer will have the adapter for your radio. I would suggest asking one of the installers at "Best Buy" what they think... but aactually I just looked your vehicle up! And the pioneer in-dash will fit perfectly! Pretty much any radio you get about 6.1 inches will work. I hope this helps!

I use this on my Ford Escape with no big issues at all. I've retrofitted taillights on it because it can block the vehicle taillights. Depending on what you are carrying.

I never used the product to clean the headliner. Maybe try a small area first and see, I would think ? it would work.

Just like the other guy said, you can tuck it into the headliner, or you can go below the carpet. Make sure to measure it out first before ripping anything up.

Hey I bought these lights for the fire dept. depending on your state laws and regulations you can either put them in the front of your dash and either tape them in or glue them I'd recommend tape because the sun will eventually decompose the adhesive structure I actually did that but I bent it into the top part of the windshield frame and two in the back window of my pickup. If you have any questions you can email me I set them up multiple ways Zack Zdfowler12@yahoo.com

In my experience (2003 Xterra), I had to remove the whole headliner from my truck. I wanted to ensure that the bond was thorough and would last. This is a tough job depending on your car but it is well worth it. 1. I removed the headliner from the vehicle and removed the old headliner fabric. 2. I highly recommend that you scrub off the old foam from the headliner so the adhesive has a fresh surface to adhere to. 3. Measure your headliner size and purchase fabric from any fabric store. Then you will make the proper cuts for lights, visors, etc. 4. Before spraying adhesive, lay out the new fabric to ensure it is in place. Work one side at a time (front then back). 5. The adhesive has different settings for spraying but make sure the area is covered thoroughly (the headliner and the fabric need to be sprayed), let it sit for a minute then firmly press the headliner material onto the adhesive. Making sure bubbles and gaps do not appear. Repeat this on the other side. 6. I let my headliner dry for about 2 hours before placing it back into my truck. This is all dependent on the type of car you have and how thorough of a job you would like to do. You can easily just spray and go but your results might just be a temporary fix.

I have the screen mounted on my dash on my 3/4 ton Dodge in the drivers corner. It is a little large, however you get used to it. I have had the smaller screen units, but I now prefer the larger screen. The only negative is that at night, the screen reflects in the windshield. It really needs a hood for night driving. Other than that, I think it would work very well for your husbands truck or dump truck. One word of caution, stay away from the wireless units. I have owned several of them and while they are initially good, they seem to have reception problems over time. Definitely stick to the wired units, like this one.

I spin DNB and I play my mixescin my car. I have 4, 8" pioneer speakers and I got this to boost the BASS. After you adjust the settings (takes a while) this speaker sounds pretty wicked in the car. Dosen't sound very loud from the outside but sounds pretty full on the inside! For the price I'm thinking of adding a second one!

I bought on. I did like mine. It worked good for me, NOTE if you travel a lot , like going from state to state it will fade in out because like a radio station does the same deal.. i buy this again if i had to . but i end up buying a new car years later. May god bless you
