What is Car Headliner?

Car headliner is a composite fabric. A Composite fabric is the combination of materials used to create a new fabric, therefore benefiting from all the characteristics of each individual material.

A headliner, is bonded to the inside of the cars hood. Headliners have a non-woven or foam backing. The point of composite material is to merge multiple characteristics. In cars, this includes sound reduction, stiffness and aesthetic. The fabric is to be glued to the interior using a spray adhesive glue.

Heat, humidity and time can significantly degrade the bond of the face fabric and the foam. Consequently, once the foam is exposed it to oxygen, it oxidizes and can become weak and brittle. Therefore, is it is not uncommon to replace the car headlining after a certain period of time.

Applying the new Headliner

To ensure the best application of your new headliner, firstly, you should always carefully remove the original headliner. Secondly, it is advised to brush off the excess adhesive and foam from the previous headliner. Finally, the new headliner can then be applied smoothly.
