Yeah those DIY videos always make it look so simple. Then you try it and run into unexpected problems...

3M adhesive spray. Spray, run a plastic blade across it to smooth it - success.

20 years of this crap

quote:

What makes this materials/adhesives/engineering failure so egregious is the relationship of how minor a thing it should be to fix, how much it devalues the experience of driving the car, and how damn long the industry had to correct it.

Cars were doing this since the 1970s; by the early 1980s American automakers should have seen that the problem was widespread and worthy of attention, but, somehow, this ridiculous, drapey bullshite continued for two more decades.

What’s especially maddening is that solutions were already well-known: American cars of the 1960s did not have these issues, because they tended to use vinyl, stitched headliners.

Airline Glass in Gonzales did my truck years ago. I did my car myself and it looks good also. Buy the liner and 3M spray. Spray the board and put down the new liner. Cover it with plastic and shovel a bunch of sand on the plastic to push the liner down into the valleys. Worked great.

Fabric stores sell liner. Problem is you have to remove the liner and the support. Clean then foam residue from the support without breaking it up. It is fragile. Not hard to do yourself, but it takes some time to do it right. Youtube is your friend.

I'm sure you can find a shop if you search and are willing to pay.

My gmc jimmy I drove in hs did this go to napa auto parts and they should have custom tacks for this. I think you could twist them to keep them from coming out.
