Well, I finally had some time in the last few weekends. Thanks to Slymer, I got the insulation in -
As you can see I FINALLY got a new dome light cover and upgraded to LED's as well
!
I spent a few weeks driving around without any insulation, and let me tell you there was a clear difference once I put it in, especially if you have subs. My roof rattled and was really obnoxious and it was FREEZING at night. Its noticeably better now and there's no rattle.
As for the headliner, the wire brush worked fantastic. I made sure to use a soft bristle brush-
The only problem is I knelled on the headliner a few times while removing the foam. That was a mistake... there are some knee prints and indents on it now, but it doesn't bother me much. I took a risk and wanted to try out some carbon fiber styled headliner because I'm converting my interior/exterior color to matte black with some carbon fiber accents -
It looks okay and applied nice but we'll see how it holds up. I researched a few types of headliner adhesives and 3M's spray won... it had the best reviews. There was no odor, and it seems to have adhered very well. I sprayed over four coats on the headliner as the can indicated, the last one being in the opposite direction. I will definitely not use the same Carbon fiber on the rear 'sails' because they have a very weird triangular type of shape and I know it wouldn't work well. I'll try some cheaper black fabric. If it adheres well though, I'll probably end up using it on the doors or something.
Those T50 torq's are a total b*tch to remove. The front driver was the only one I was able to get out, while all the others are still very tight in there. I keep spraying them with liquid wrench though, and its loosening it up.
I do have one question... behind the rear bench seats sits a flat square surface just below head height that houses the rear stereo's and center brake light. Mine has turned a very unappealing color of dark yellow (pee colored) due to sun damage. My question is how to remove this. It seems relatively lose, and like the bench seats might be holding it in.
