Has anyone tried epoxying the headliner? Does it REALLY work? If so.. which one did you use? http://www.epoxy.com.pk/product.htm

Can this sh*t really hold 6000 lbs at 300 degrees F ???

let's call this thread ASB #001. Aggie Service Bulletin 001.

 

epoxy is quite a strong adhesive.

ive seen it used anywhere from protecting the identity of a guitar amplifiers circuitry, coating the engine mount of a gas-powered R/C plane (fuel proof substance), to fixing a cracked neck on a gibson guitar.

its strong stuff. strong enough to hold up a headliner if you have a good base to glue it on. i dont know how well gluing it directly to flat metal would go.

 

Epoxy would work but good luck trying to take off your headliner.

 

contact cement would be a motherfucker

 

You still don't get it, do you? You are putting epoxy on the TOP HALF of a two piece set of velcro. Velcro will separate when required, and stick like stink when required.

When you epoxy the top half to the metal frame, THEN you press the two pieces together. When you want to separate them, you just pry them apart like any velcro closure.

The only thing you should have trouble getting off is the top piece of velcro, and that is as it should be.

 

From what I'm reading... the answer so far is to EPOXY the Fu**ing thing. Objections anyone?

 

Oh. I see. But that wouldn't solve my headliner problem as it's the Velcro that keeps separating, not the Velcro coming off the roof.

 

That's the first time I heard about the velcro coming apart. The velcro in my car is very strong and hard to get apart. Two of them came loose from the metal channel, and I had a hard time separating the two pieces of velcro.

I guess in this case you should let the dealer get you some new velcro. Then, if the sticky stuff comes loose, you can always epoxy the velcro piece. I guess they made it easy to separate in case something went wrong with the sunroof mechanism, which would make it necessary to remove the headliner.
