MDF Roof?

[Gearstix 10+ year member]

My headliner is shot in my GMC Sonoma.

I'm kinda thinking of doing a MDF roof. I'm not sure how to go about it, does anybody have a MDF roof, or could offer a guide..? I read on SSA that this will be "acoustically dead"... I don't think the guy that told me this did the guide like he said..

i wouldn't do it out of 3/4 lol

You can build a headliner out of 1/4'' mdf though, trace your old headliner onto it, wrap it...and put it up just like your old headliner

I can see a 3/4" sheet of MDF falling on your head

heck, maybe even thinner if they make it. Maybe 1/8" of so.

i would rather fiberglass a new headliner... could cost some but would be better imo that putting wood above your head.

I'm just looking for a replacement to the headliner without spending.. $280+ for a new headliner.

I might just patch the holes in it and recover it.. but meh.

why don't you just grab the old headliner and put a layer of fiber glass over the top to repair the holes and then paint it or sumthin

Post a pic of the current headliner. You may still be able to reuse it.

Theres 2 or 3 holes, but I don't feel like taking pix.

I didn't do any damage to my truck, was done by previous owner..

like they said fiberglass and paint/cover

Pull it down, take the material off (the suede or whatever it is) and you could probably use a light body filler, sand, then have it recovered.

is that just the cushion part???

if that's just the cushion part fill the craters with expanding foam or such then just cover the entire headliner with new fabric.

I would use some sort of thin fiberboard and then some sort of long lasting foam and then whatever fabric.

For badass I would do fiberglass or carbon fiber
