Braingears Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: St Petersburg, FL Vehicle(s): G320 & ML320 Posts: 1450 | Headliner Material I've removed my headliner because of sunroof issues. Since it was already stained and sagging, I might as well change it. Because of how stained mine is, I would like to get something that will not stain and is easier to clean. I was thinking of getting a perforated vinyl. Something like http://www.automobiletrim.com/images/vinyls/dimpled-vinyl-large.jpg http://www.automobiletrim.com/images/vinyls/basketweave-vinyl-large.jpg Let me know what you think...

The opposite. I cut the roof off and installed a CampTop. The remaining headliner, forward of the B-pillar is in sad shape and needs recovering. It is pretty easy to remove and recover, but I need to find a way to hold the loose part up against the carbon fiber camper floor.

It only looks good because of camera settings forced by the high contrast picture. Plenty of stains from a leaky sunroof gasket. Many parts of the fabric are just tucked in, not attached at all. | ||

Alan, did you post a picture? Edited by Aircruiser 10/19/2018 11:11 AM | ||

Mere lower level wizardry. I use http://picr.de to host pictures and then link to them in the posting using the picture-of-a-tree tool. Edited by AlanMcR 10/24/2018 10:46 PM | ||

Braingears Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: St Petersburg, FL Vehicle(s): G320 & ML320 Posts: 1450 | RE: Headliner Material I ended up choosing a graphite color (instead of black). It matched well with the rest of the interior. I continued to use the grey visor and handles. They make a good accent to the darker headliner. | ||
