Removal And Installation: Headliner: Installation
NOTE:
To avoid damaging the headliner when folding the headliner wings, fold the headliner wings so that the backing is ONLY touching the backing of the headliner. Never fold the headliner cloth-to-cloth or cloth-to-backing.
NOTE:
The headliner is made of new material that will allow for specific folding, flexing and rolling during installation.
- 1.NOTE: The 3M™Duramix™ 4747 Super Fast Adhesive is commercially available. This adhesive is a 2-part adhesive in a 50 ml dual-tube applicator. Depending on the size of the headliner and optional wire harness(es), purchasing of two to five 50 ml tubes is recommended.
When installing a new headliner, transfer the wire harness in the following sequence:
- 1.
Using suitable tape, mark the wire at the exit points for proper length from headliner-to-body/roof connectors.
- 2.
Carefully remove the wire harness from the original headliner.
- 3.
Using a suitable marking tool, mark the new headliner with the routing and exit points of the wire harness from the original headliner.
- 4.NOTE: Do not damage the wire harness when cutting the excess adhesive from the wire harness.
Cut and remove any excess adhesive from the wire harness.
- 5.
Position the wire harness onto the new headliner and make sure the wire harness has enough length to connect to the body/roof connectors using the tape indicator applied in Step 1. Apply tape to temporarily hold the wire harness in that position on the headliner.
- 6.NOTE: The 3M™Duramix™ 4747 Super Fast Adhesive sets in 20 seconds. Continually make sure the wire harness is routed correctly when applying the adhesive.
Apply the 3M™Duramix™ 4747 Super Fast Adhesive in the same location as the factory installed adhesive along the full length of the wire harness to the headliner to avoid any NVH concern(s).
