Thanks for this video! I would not have done this myself without given the courage by watching your video. I got the Headliner Magic headliner material from Amazon for 50 bucks and today I did the pull and adhesion. Went OK. I have a 2003 Xterra so I'd like to put my two sense in about a couple of things for those that may want to do this. LOSE THE NET attached to the headliner. I knew there was something up when the woman asked about it and he was like, I'll take that off later. The thing has the dumbest design ever on the back side. Plastic posts going through it and then these clips totally designed NOT to ever be taken off on the other. Let's get real, that net is pretty much useless anyway. You can't put anything in it that will fall through, or anything that will get stuck (ie SUNGLASSES). To me it was useless. Sits behind me and can't put anything in it but papers and why? So do yourself a favor and just give it up. Notice his finished product doesn't have the holes cut, nor does he reinstall it afterward. I tried to take the clips off the back and if you have an older vehicle like a 2003 the plastic is baked and will crack easily with most any pressure. I broke one of the posts and then asked myself... why am I trying to save this thing. So just break it off and throw it out. Another thing... get yourself like 20 razor blades. I don't know what industrial strength blades he's using but I just bought your regular blades at Lowes and the first cut is beautiful and you think to yourself, this is gonna be easy. Little do you know that that first cut is the last cut like it. LOL I went through at least 10. And then lastly. I ended up using Permetex headliner adhesive. DO NOT FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE CAN. The adhesive is nothing like this guys. I got to the point of spraying and I did what this guy did... flick of the rist up... let it come down and start spreading from the center but anywhere this glue connects together even after 30 seconds... it sticks. I literally though I was going to tear the foam backing off when I tried to release the edges that had stuck when I initially lay it over and stared from the center working out. You'll eventually figure out how to manuever the fabric to relieve that problem, all I'm saying is... in this video it looks like you can just flick your wrist and the edges are manueverable. It was a panic at first but you can get it apart to lay it back down. And lastly... taking it out did not go as easily. I did eventually get it but those protruding plastic parts can get stuck under the rim of the columns in the vehicle so be aware. Also it sounds like a cardboard box bending in half and I was incredibly worried I was doing it wrong and it would be bent forever. But it went back into shave just fine. So just be aware, it gives you a heart attack at first. I will try to install it tomorrow. Very excited to get that saggy nasty old one gone for good!
Thanks for the video again! really really helped.
You are 100 % on the plastic net thingy! I dislike that net holder. I will find the replacement clips and put a link in the description and also in the future do a video on the removal and reinstall of that horrible center net console piece. Thank you for your journey reveal. I think others can learn from each experience. I would love to add your story with a pic to the website. I working on adding a page for testimonials and pic of the completed works.
@@HeadlinerMagic I will see what I can do about pics. I only took a couple. One while I was cleaning it up. Oh and for those reading, spend the 5 bucks for a rotary wire brush on your drill. Totally worth it. Took another one with the fabric laid across. Will take the final adhesion tomorrow as its in the garage resting and desmelling for the night. And then I'll take one of it installed. I was worried that perhaps the net thingy screwed part might be needed to stop the top from vibrating on the roof so all I did was cut the net section off, leaving just the straight part where the screws and cover go on and when I install tomorrow I'll just screw that in for extra strength from sag and vibration. I'll take some pics.
@@tomdietrich2776 Thanks Tom, We look forward to see the finished product.
Nice work!
What city are you at ?
Tyler, Tx we just built our own warehouse. Thanks you for your time checking out the video. Marcus
Do you have an install video lol
It makes me nervous putting in back in without taking all the dudads off
I will be tackling it soon.... Great video, thank you
Is there any other option to use glue if you don’t own the fancy air compressor?
YOU ROCK!
Thank you, we appreciate you for checking out our videos.
I replaced mine on an Xterra 2002 this weekend. In order to remove it, I didn’t remove the pillars but had to detached/pulled and popped them out of the clips holding it to the interior slightly. Then I pulled back and it was easy. When putting it back in, make sure you guide it so the edges slide above and behind the pillars of at least one whole side. Just trying to jam it in there might damage the material even though is quite flexible. I tried to do
as described on the video and had to remove and start all over so I just guided it at least behind one of the sides completely and didn’t have to bend down on the center. This bending on center was causing my headliner to develop some ugly wrinkles and not just on the fabric but the actual hard headliner shell. Thanks for the rest of the installation tips.
Great job, and thanks for sharing!
God bless you brother
Thank you so much Sir. Very much appreciate 👍 Marcus
Bomb! Thank you so much! Saved me $600
Glad we could help. Xterra are fun and easy to do. Except for the 04 with the net compartment on the center area. Marcus
$600? They told me $800 to $1000 for my 04 Exterra!
Thanks for awesome instructions!
Thank you Jay, I appreciate you watching the content and commenting it helps the channel grow and other be able to be shown the videos by RUclips. Marcus
Awesome job my friend
Thanks 👍 Matt. Marcus
thank you sir! thanks to this video i was able to replace the headliner on my 04 xterra with minimal effort, all aside from the installation. that definitely would’ve been easier with the pillars and seatbelts removed 😅
How did you take the net part off???
Hello Snowy, use a pair of pliers and squeeze round metal ring on the back while pulling it off the plasitc pins. Marcus
@@HeadlinerMagic just finished my Xterra’s headliner! Thanks for all the tips!
i see a few different headliner fabrics, and I'm confused on the types. some say that they have foam attached to it... is this needed for this particular car's headliner? or can I just get a similar fabric without the foam on it?
You can use a fabric without the foam backing as long as the glue is sprayed in a way were it does not bleed Thru the fabric. You will need to use an adhesive that comes out in a sight mist and sprayed not to close. Marcus
MY STORY. I called a auto restoration shop and the told me $800 to $1000 to do the headliner for my 2004 Nissan Xterra. I wanted to VOMIT, hearing that RIDICULOUS PRICE! After that, I figured, I can do this myself. I found your RUclips channel and with you insight, knowledge and you posting this video.... I'm doing it myself.
Thanks, so much for posting this. You saved me $1000. Because I'm a black they most definitely would have charging me the higher price... LO LOL LOL
Thank you for Subcribing to the channel first off. Chaz Man I so glad to hear that you didn't fall for that pricing. That is about 2x what I charge. And I just had a price increase. The 04 is easy too. The only thing you have to worry about is the center net console. On the back it has some plastic studs with washer type fastners. You will have to scrifice the clips just take some pliers and squezz them until they break. Then when you re-install it just us a hot melt gun around the plastic studs. Use this method if you do the job before I make a video letting you know I have the new replacement clips instock. Thanks again for checking out the channel. Marcus
What size piece of material do I need.
Hello Joe you will need to order 95” long x 60” wide for the headliner board. Thank you for watching. I have the link in the description for easy purchasing. Marcus
Another great job young man. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
I appreciate that Bobby. Im very bless to have this audience to help to the next step in their projects. Marcus
Thanks for this video. Very helpful!
Great video thank you. I have one question though, what size dimension headliner did you buy? I am trying to replace mine on a 2000 Nissan Xterra.
Thank Carlos, You will need a 95" long x 60" wide. I will provide a link in the description for the headliner.
Thank you I appreciate it.
How many spray adhesive cans do you believe are enough for project?
@@CarlosMedina-px9fe recommended amount is 2 you will only use 1 and a half.
Thank you!
Thank you. This video is great. Is it necessary to let the board sit and dry for a period of time after the new material is glued on, or can it be reinstalled in the vehicle right away?
Right away, it can be reinstalled back into the vehicle. The only drawback to that is that you may smell a small hint of glue for a day or two.
@@HeadlinerMagic thank you for the quick reply, Sir.
@@travisedwardmiller Thank you as well for checking out our videos.
I've been needing to do this with my 04 Xterra. The damn cloth touches my head and it drives me crazy. Also, the foam from the old liner is getting everywhere. Thanks for the vid. This is exactly what I needed!
Sorry for dumb question.. but have the same car.. how many yards ? and how wide ? And do you have to use the foam backed liner ?? I was thinking of doing a dark night sky on mine :D :D
You would need 3 yards. 2 1/2 yards on the headliner board and 1/2 yard for the sun-visors. 60 inches wide will give you enough to wrap your edges. You could use any material as long as the glue is sprayed light enough on the material backside and there is no bleed thru. The best way to avoid this is to just spray the board very well and let it set till its sticky but not totally dry. Then lay the material down and smooth it out.
@@HeadlinerMagic thanks a million
Where are you bro?

Can't wait to do mine (2002) but it's still pretty cold and gross up here in VT. Obviously ill have to do it in woodland camo lol.
The camo will look great. Marcus
Hey Mr. Marcus, I'm waiting on you to do a 2006 Toyota Camry le sedan. I'm glad to know that I can purchase my supplies from you. God bless.
Not a problem I can handle it for you. Are you local to me in Dallas TX? Marcus
@@HeadlinerMagic I wished I was, but unfortunately I'm here in Moss point, Mississippi. I did get to visit Dallas a few years ago and my favorite eatery was tony Rama's barbecue on the west end. Thanks again
@@bobbybenn8275 I bet you get to enjoy Crusin the Coast car meet?
@@HeadlinerMagic oh yeah, even though the main event is held in Biloxi, but they bring their cars here to my lil city for a day. They are preparing for another event soon, it's called scraping the coast, where all the low riders get together. I have a 98 Chevy ck1500 show truck, 2 more years, it will be classified as a classic. Its been garage kept for 22 years and still looks good, with only 132420 miles. I drove it to Dallas in 99 we stayed at a hotel on Griffin street. Even drove it to the Potter's House, The ministry of T. D. Jakes. Take care, and keep up the good work.
@@bobbybenn8275 that truck sounds sweet! You planned that one well. You should join my RUclips channel Rust 2 Lust. I have 7 old school classics one for each day. I will be post videos soon for the fix up and restore of each one.
Hello. Thank you very much for the video. I have a 2003 Xterra, so it has the same headliner as a 2004 or 2002. I like how you don't have to take all of the trim off to get the headliner out, and you show how to take out the headliner without taking any pillars off, but my question is how do you put it back in? Do you put it in the same way as you take it out? I'm not really sure how that works putting the headliner back in. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear back soon!
Thank you for the comment. And yes the headliner will go back in just as easy. You will wedge it in one side to get it started and position yourself in the center of the vehicle. And while pulling downward on the center of the board with one hand, use the other hand to wedge the opposite side into place. once the edges are tucked in let go of the center bowed area and the board will pop back into place behind the pillars. The board is very flexible you wont hurt it at all by bending it to you will.
Thank you very much!
How did you remove the locking pins from the net that's attached to the headliner
Maurice Seabreeze Great question.
We sacrificed 2 of the pegs close to the screw holes. By using needle nose pliers we squeezed the two clamps on the pegs away from the screw holes to break them free from the pegs. Then the two pegs we broke off as sacrifices we used the clamps from those to reinstall.
@@HeadlinerMagic leaving out how to handle the net is a pretty big oversight. The things people leave out of these DIY videos are always the things they screw up. Otherwise, it's a great video. 3/16 diameter studs. gently bend off the push washers and break them in half. Get the replacement parts at a hardware store. 3/16" stud flat push-on retainers. Needs 7. Or delete net.
Awesome video gotta do this to my Xterra soon duct tape isn’t working anymore
Step by step except for the front lighting.
Thanks Doug fir checking out the video. I will have to do better next time. Marcus
Speak into the mic!??
Thanks Jack, Noted. Marcus
Thank you! I have a 04 Xterra the headliners in this model is horrible. Time to trade her in and this should get me a few more bucks. 😁
We appreciate the look and comment.
👍
0:29 how do you remove that part?
My apologies for getting to you so late. It was not intentional. I'm overjoyed to see all the active comments. I'm just learning how to get to all of them on my phone easily. That part you are referring to you will first have two Philip head screws underneath a small plate that you can see hanging at the 0:29 time stamp. After removing those two hardware. Flip the board over and with a pair of needle nose pliers you will need to break the Push-On Retaining Rings on the plastic pegs. If you could measure one I will post the place to purchase replacements rings here in the video description. Once you remove those 8 rings if I remember correctly. The storage net compartment will be removable. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the video, my Xterra needs the same thing. It's a shame you're down in Texas, that's a bit of a drive.
Thanks so much for the video. I’ve got the same issue with my ‘04 and now I have the courage to do this myself.
Alright, I appreciate the initiative my watchers have demonstrated with the help of the video.
