Hey guys and gals, I'm trying to find a headliner for a 92 W250 club cab LE. Just wondering what they could run. I know that they stopped making them and the trim parts also, which I need a few of those. I know a junkyard would be a good place to start but where else would possibly have them?

 

Know body that I know of makes an aftermarket headliner, is yours missing? Any upholstery shop can recover one for cheap. There are a couple guys on the forum that are always parting out trucks. Contract mark Nixon or val (simplysmn) he will probably chime in.

you can recover yours, it comes on rolls with foam backing, use 3m spray contact adhesive, real easy to renew.

 

The foam part that the fabric goes on is bad.

Bryson, I know that nobody makes them anymore. What I am asking is if anybody knows where I could find one

 

Any more good luck finding a good clean 1 My last 1 got used in a truck . but it would be very hard to ship .

 

Yeah that's true. They surely ain't very tough. Could a person maybe fix the one I have now with, hate to say it, duct tape or something that will last a long time?

 

Headliners are not hard to do, just tedious. You must remove all of the old foam from the headliner board. I will be doing one here very soon.

Don't waste your time looking for a good one- these trucks are 21 years old at best. Its so easy to resurface the old one. Here is what I did with mine:1/2 way down the page

get it out, brush the foam off, blow the dust off, use the adhesive, spread it out after 5 minutes, smooth, wait overnight, put it in, admire.

If your fiberglass backing board is ruined, thats a different story.

 

Go visit your local upholstery shop that does this stuff for a Living . just get them to make a new 1 for you .

 

headliner material is manufactured with the foam on it for insulating purposes, the foam is what degrades causing droop

 

It's not the fabric or the thin foam it's the foam board that the thin foam and fabric attach to. The actual headliner board, as I call it. Could be the wrong name for it

 

The E/C headliner is vastly different from the Standard cab version.
While the standard cab version has a firm "board" for the adhesive and fabric to bond to, the E/C version is more like several layers of fibers resembling a yellow fiberglass matting, with the desired fabric glued to it.
They are usually very fragile after this many years and fairly hard to work with when the fabric comes loose.

I've had several nice ones over the years, but they don't hold up well to storage and being moved around, due to their tenderness.

Oh yeah mark they surely ain't very tough

 

What, then, is the solution to the drooping headliner problem?

 

I am not sure, but if need be, I will take some thin veneer and use the old board as a template. I made a headliner board that way from scratch for a '35 International Panel that we are building up. Just my $.02
