Installation

Installing a new headliner

1. NOTE: Obtain the 3M(TM) Duramix 4747 Super Fast Adhesive commercially. The 3M(TM) Duramix 4747 Super Fast Adhesive is a 2-part adhesive in a 50 ml dual-tube applicator. Depending on the size of the headliner and optional wire harness(es), the purchase of two to five 50 ml tubes is suggested.

When installing a new headliner, transfer the wire harness in the following sequence:

1. Using suitable tape, mark the wire at the exit points for proper length from headliner-to-body/roof connectors.

2. Carefully remove the wire harness from the original headliner.

3. Using a suitable marking tool, mark the new headliner with the routing and exit points of the wire harness from the original headliner.

4. NOTICE: Make sure not to damage the wire harness when cutting the excess adhesive from the wire harness.

Cut and remove any excess adhesive from the wire harness.

5. Position the wire harness onto the new headliner and check that the harness has enough length to be connected to the body/roof connectors using the tape indicator that was applied in Step 1. Apply tape to temporarily hold the wire harness in that position on the headliner.

6. NOTE: The 3M(TM) Duramix 4747 Super Fast Adhesive will set in 20 seconds. Continually make sure that the wire harness is routed correctly when applying the adhesive.

Apply the 3M(TM) Duramix 4747 Super Fast Adhesive in the same location as the factory installed adhesive along the full length of the wire harness-to-headliner to avoid any NVH concern(s).
