3/16 foam backed headliner fabric

A sagging roof liner can make even a well-kept vehicle feel tired, and 3/16 foam backed headliner fabric is one of the most popular ways to bring it back. The thin foam layer adds a soft, padded finish, helps hide small imperfections in the headliner board, and gives the material enough body to stretch smoothly around curves and dome-light openings.

Why Choose 3/16 Inch Foam Headliner

The 3/16 inch thickness sits in a practical middle ground. It offers more cushion than thin scrim-backed options while staying flexible enough for most cars, trucks, vans and RVs. Many DIYers and upholstery shops reach for it as a go-to headliner replacement fabric.

What to Look For

• Color and texture: Match your existing trim or pick a fresh shade to update the cabin.
• Adhesive compatibility: Use a spray adhesive designed for headliners and foam.
• Enough yardage: Measure your headliner board and add extra for wrapping edges.

Tips for a Smooth Install

Remove all old, crumbling foam from the board before gluing, work from the center outward, and avoid pressing too hard so the foam isn't crushed.
