The headliner in my Cherokee needs to be replaced. Were talking nothing but the metal roof right now. After I use some insulation tape would this work as a substitute for the headliner board?

I just had the same issue with my van, I had to replace the headliner board and headliner material. I used this material and attached it to 5mm underlayment from home Depot. It's flex able enough yet sturdy.

No its just vinyl material and its probably not a big enough peice to cover the roof

No, it really wont do any good your best bet is to get a different head liner from another Cherokee maybe a jy would be less expensive and easy to remove and easy to resurface

I guess with enough willpower and ingenuity that could work, but you'd lose a lot of the sound/thermal insulation affects of the headliner board, that and I can't imagine it lasting all that long. Go to a salvage yard, you should be able to find a headliner board pretty easily and relatively cheap

Our travel trailer is an Ever-Lite by EverGreen Model 32RBK-DS. The dome I replaced is on top of the shower. It is the outside dome (inside there is another white dome, that I do not know the model number). The outside dome is model SL1422S Bri-Rus, smoke. I had to heat the outside sealant with a hair dryer in order to maintain the integrity of the roof. Dicor sealant did the job outside and we have no leaks. Dome plastic is fragile so watch out for lower tree branches. Hope info is helpful.

Go to HomeDepot. Go to where they sell Duct-tape. Get the aluminum tape for outdoor use. It looks shiny silver roll of tape. I get the one with the highest temperature outdoor tolerance. When you get back at your trailer, clean the surrounding area really well with some dishwashing soap and water. Dry it really well. Take some rubbing alcohol with some paper towel and wipe the area lightly. Don't need to rub it. This will make sure there are no greasy area left. Take the aluminum tape and cut a piece big enough to cover the hole. Take the backing paper off and apply it over the hole starting from one edge of the tape, pressing and rubbing the tape as you move slowly over the hole with the tape. Do not apply pressure over the hole with the tape just go around the hole. You don't want to puncture a hole through the tape over the drilled hole. After you are done, put a bead around the edge of the aluminum tape with the Dicor rubber sealant. This will prevent any moisture later on to be creeping under the aluminum tape. If you can see the hole inside the trailer, you can put some clear silicone caulking sealant in the hole and wipe it smoothly and level with the ceiling. Save the aluminum tape and sealants. You might need it in the future for any other roof repairs. I check and inspect my trailer roof every so often throughout the year especially before winter and before the rainy season for any possible leak potentials. I hope this helps. Happy camping!!

Charles, the black cloth backed Gorilla tape would be better where the tare is under stress. The clear tape should work on a small tare (2-3") long. In either case clean the area with alcohol or water and let dry. After application press the tape down firmly with a roller if possible. I hope you can repair your awning. Happy RVing !

I coated a fiberglass roof, not the seams. I would think a caulk would work better for seams.

I ripped the whole headliner, sprayed with 3M 38808 and now is worse than before. In my experience this glue can't hold the headliner into place.

This has to be hard wired into you vehicle through a 12 volt wire. It requires you to cut your headliner, as do any of the roof mount systems you will look at. If you don't know what your doing I would have a professional install one for you, depending on the vehicle year make and model it can be fairly easy to very tricky.

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.

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 question is a good one,but from my use as a gutter guard adhesive,it worked well,even in hot sun. The thickness is approximately,one eighth inch or less,but flattens out under pressure and yes it is foam,but very dense. I would not worry if your lighting is led,since it does not produce much heat,but if subjected to heat around exhaust or engine area it may not hold as well. Your question did not give where the tape would be used. Hope this helps,but you should know that if you do use it that you should put pressure on it at least for a few hours to make sure of the hold,I learned that from the first use failing. Good luck,I think you will like the product it really is great stuff.SincerelyM.J.L. The question is a good one,but from my use as a gutter guard adhesive,it worked well,even in hot sun.

Drop the back part of the headliner and deconnet the old light wire from the harness and plug in the new one. Hope this helps!

I have no idea but I would contact the manufacturer of both the roof and the coating before using.

I do not know, contact the manufacturer, they may have a special kit to install on the metal roof

It should as long as you shake the can very well, but it's really easy to make a mess and this glue does stain. It's really meant to use to replace whole headliner.

If you have a metal roof, no problem at all. It sticks very well. If you have metal roof sealer or the white snowseal,and it is peeling, remove as much of the peeling as possible, then apply. It will stick very well.

I think a double sided removable outdoor tape would work best. I have found the performance of these is far less than I expected, maybe your results will differ

Its different than undercoating. They are used for different purposes. If you want undercoating to prevent corrosion, go get undercoating. If you want a sound absorbing material for the interior of the car that is simple to apply and works well, use Boom Mat. I used this on my door panels, floor, trunk area and roof, let it dry for 24 hours then reinstalled my interior panels/carpet and the car is noticeably quieter and it has reduced the door rattles that i previously had.Cliffs: not an undercoating replacement, this is to reduce sound/heat. good at doing just that.
