headliner backed scrim

A sagging roof liner is one of the most common interior complaints, and headliner backed scrim fabric is the go-to material for fixing it. This layered fabric pairs a decorative face with a thin foam cushion and a lightweight scrim backing, giving you a finished look that bonds cleanly to your headliner board.

Why Scrim Backing Matters

The scrim is a light mesh layer on the back of the foam. It helps the foam hold together while you stretch and position the fabric, and it gives spray adhesive a consistent surface to grip. That makes for a smoother bond and helps the material lie neatly over curves and contours.

What to Look For

Face Fabric and Color

Match the original texture and shade of your vehicle's interior, or choose a fresh look for a custom build. Compare swatches against nearby trim and sun visors.

Foam and Flexibility

• Check the product details for the foam backing thickness.
• Choose a fabric with enough stretch to follow your roof's contours.
• Measure your headliner board and add extra for wrapping edges.

Uses Beyond the Roof

Foam backed headliner fabric also works well for sun visors, pillar covers, door panel inserts and van or RV interiors.
