Can anyone tell me if there is any way to Re-glue the Headliner. When You look inside the Coach the Headliner Looks to be in Great Shape until you open a couple of the overhead cabinets. It is starting to come down behind a couple of the Cabinet Doors and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck re-glueing the headliner? I thought I had read somewhere about using Wallpaper Paste but Now I can't locate where I read it.

Was told by Jeff Sirum that there is nothing to be done except replace it. I also used thumbtacks for a while and then had the headliner redone. If it is only bothering you in the cabinets, why not just keep trimming the drooping part? That might buy you some more time.

Len,
I remember from past postings that you got your headliner material from a shop in south San Diego or Nat City.
Will you please post the name?
Thank you.

Hi Jim K, Thank You for letting me know. I guess I will have to try the Thumb Tacks for awhile. I know that taking the Cabinets down and replacing the Headliner myself is Nothing I would ever tackle.

Hi Gene, Thank You for the Information. I think I will go with the Thumbtacks too and hope it will last for a while. I know there is No Way I can tackle replacing the Headliner and beings it is only behind a few of the Cupboard Doors right now - it will have to wait. I really Appreciate your sending me the Link to see how it is done and some of the Options available.

Hi jknezek, Thanks for letting me know. I think the Thumbtacks is the way I will go too. I guess it was Wishful Thinking hoping there would be some type of adhesive to hold it. I can't tackle anything like replacing the Headliner so it is just one of those projects that will have to wait till a later date.

Bess,
I would avoid thumbtacks in YOUR coach. (Your sig says you have a Birchaven. Birchs (and Royales) have a different ceiling than the GM upfitted coaches.) The plywood in the Coachman coaches doesn't look THAT bad without the wallpaper type covering. (just darker)

I would not like thumbtack holes in my plywood ceiling.
