1990 standard cab head liner. Big job?

[OlSmokie]

The headliner in my 90 standard cab is in good shape, but is is separated and falling down. I'm thinking about taking it out and re gluing it. Is this a fairly simple job, or one of those jobs where you have to disassemble half the truck? Anyone ever try to re glue one while it's still in the truck?

Have to take the pillar plastics down, and the sun visors but that is it. I have my headliner out of my 95 RCLB currently awaiting me to get the glue and fabric to redo it.

I took my entire interior out, plan on changing colors. But I would think that taking the trim above the doors off would make it easier for sure. Just be careful, 30yr old plastic is brittle. Take a look on YouTube for "Eric the car guy, dad's truck" he has a interior dismantling video definitely worth watching.

How to recover a headliner

The problem is usually not with the headliner panel board, but with the material itself. It's a common prob. The material is a combination of a very light fabric bonded to 1/8" poly foam. It's the foam that dies due to the roof being subject to temp. extremes. Turns into a powder which then no...

Did mine in 2010, needs it again...don't use Joann Fabrics headliner material, worse than the factory stuff......and yes as mentioned above ...pulling all the plastic panels is a pain and they are brittle...

Did mine too about 15yeras ago and it is still good. It was a kit that color match great. It was a job to pull off all the plastic to remove old headliner and then clean. The 3m adhesive was a little tricky. You glue in sections, maybe a third at a time. Came out as good as factory but my helper-wife and i were flying hi on fumes. She still tells me how good it looks. Now time to do the visors.

I just bought a new Aftermarket one with a plastic liner. It was about a 30 min install. Did not even have to remove any trim as the plastic one is flexible enough (Just visors)
