Just wondering what type of Fabric is used in OEM Headliner? or atleast close to OEM? ive been searching everywhere but no answers where found. Thank You!

 

It's fabric. It's from the cheapest contract Honda could source at the time. Every couple years probably gets a new manufacturer.

 

Well 92-95 doesn't use fabric. I replaced the liner in my old 96' with plain black fabric from Hobby Lobby. It kind of bled through from the glue, I think I needed thicker material.

 

Im looking at the alcantara fabric from joannes... not bad price and wont bleed through with adhesive.

 

On my eg, it's vinyl and thank goodness it was vinyl otherwise cleaning it would have taken 3x as long. If you can get vinyl do it !

 

I'll be honest dirty, the Alcantara I got from JoAnn's faded HORRIBLY in three months on my seats. I don't know that I'd trust their cloth for any kind of upholstery work, even though it's sold as upholstery cloth.

 

i have suede in my truck, looks real nice! There is spray on adhesive at home depot that works real well, and wont bleed through the material.

 

Thanks for the heads up.
My EG has the light grey vinyl and the headliner is kind of not sticking up to the roof in the front.
It's like it wasnt put back in correctly.

 

i dont like the feel of suede and especially the mark that leave on the fabric after being touched. i heard poly....something is good? maybe ill just take a piece of the fabric and bring it to jo-ann's. i want the feel of the OEM fabric of the 6th Gen(99 Civic). but in different color.

 

Jo-Ann's and Hancock fabric around me sell a fabric specifically for headliner. It is foam backed to make it thicker and so the adhesive won't bleed through. That's what I have always used for my headliner replacements.

 

Dirty check the screw that holds it up, usually people don't insert the piece correctly so it never locks.

 

I'll check it when i get the heater core and dash back in.
I miss driving it.
Thanks.

 

Ive seen people put velvet but not on a honda
