With a sagging headliner, will I need to cut it to apply the adhesive? Can someone give me a quick summary of the process involved with this?

Yes. You need to spray the adhesive on both the fabric and the headliner board, give them a few minutes to cure, and then stick the sides together. So you have to peel off the headliner before adhering them together. There are a lot of YouTube videos on this. It's not as hard as you think, just a bit tedious.

We bought this when we put a new headliner in. We took out the headliner and removed the old fabric and applied new. This glue requires you the apply it in 2 different directions. It looks like silly string and it sets up really quickly. It works great. Hope this helps.

There is no easy fix for a sagging headliner other than replace the whole thing. If you want an easy fix just grab a couple of cardboard pins and stick them to the headliner where it is sagging. But if you want it done right you need to replace it all. It is not as hard as it sounds. Here is a detailed video that I followed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MmT72NDtTs

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 had to google the answer as no instructions were included. Use adhevise glue on around edges and use spray adhevise over interior of panel. Also, if you have to cut around electric plugs or light switches, you need to get electric extenders to ensure they'll be accessible.Use FLEXALL by DAP to fill in gaps between panel and switch. Hope this helps!

The only issue I have with using this as a headliner, is that it holds debris like velcro... might get annoying. You would also want to put foam under it or it won't be thick enough.

The basic procedure is to start at the base of the bar or bar end an wrap the material around itself to secure the beginning. To complete the wrap, you overlap slightly, the open end of the bar or bar end, fold the little bit of overlap into the open end, and insert the included plug to hold it in place. If you have to wrap a part that cannot be secured this way, you may have to find some additional grip tape to secure the end. I had to use both of the above methods on my application. I found some grip tape at a local sports store. I hope this helps.

The mount provided will probably need to be modified on a per installation basis. On my 2004 Corolla, I took out the existing dome light, cut open a larger hole in the headliner (to accommodate the mount/bracket but small enough to be covered by the DVD player upon final install); but then found out that the provided mount/bracket didn't have the depth needed. i.e., if I had used the existing mount , the DVD player would be pushing up against the headliner enough to make it look like a really bad installation! So I traced out the provided mount/bracket on to 1/2" plywood (including the mounting holes) and cut the same shape out of plywood and used that as the mount instead. That worked well.

Not sure what kind of adhesive you are using - mine didn't come with any and yes the foam can be cut - I have done that with mine.

I cut my rusted old panels out. leaving a couple of inches at the bottom of the door sill plate to attach the slip on rockers . cut them to length then attached them with body panel adhesive and a few pop rivits .be sure to primer both sides of new panels as they are bare metal. chose not to weld them. ground off the rivits.use a little body filler good for a couple of years i hope. Silverado 2500 2002 extended cab. fit looks good and cheaper than abody shop.

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.

Not sure why it said you would have to cut it. It actually comes with a Tension spring that goes inside one of the poles! There is also an Extension that is provided that can be used for taller ceilings. I did not need the extension pole. This item worked and looks great.

Yes. I used prepaste activator to hang it, and it still comes down easily. My husband and I hung a section that we needed to rehang and it came down nicely, there was nothing underneath to scrape off. Also, the end result is gorgeous.

I can't answer directly, as mine is already installed and I am at work. Seems like it would be easier to trim out portions of the edges of the panel where the stud fits if necessary. Put mine in with construction adhesive - works very well.

You can either cap the wires or just cut the strip off with scissors or pliers at the last cut line before the 2 leads. It won't hurt a thing. I've done a decent number of led tape installs and am a licensed electrician. Hope this helps.

sorry, I had someone do it for me. they did say that the key is making sure that the surface was completely clean(use rubbing alcohol). they also use a wax pencil to make light marks for placement alignment. The wax came right off when they were done. I hope this helps.

installation can be a very scary thing running the positive and negative wire is easy however my recommendation would be to watch a youtube video on how to install a drop down TV to make sure it is properly secured to the cab not just a headliner I secured quarter inch wood with epoxy to the headliner and screwed the quarter inch to the Main brace... Good luck make sure it's centered and make sure secure

Thanks for your help. We already ordered it, so I will let you know how it goes...We hung one last weekend that we did not have to cut. It looked better than I thought it would. Fingers crossed. Thanks again

Use 2 pieces of scotch tape for each cut, place one on each side of the tint sheet, front and back, close to the edges, then pull apart slowly. That's what the instructions said, and it worked for me.

Yes you have to apply the adhesive to the glass. It is pre cut but do not separate the parts frome each other it is to flimsy to apply by itself. Remove the tape frome around the edges. Applied, then separate the parts.
