Van Conversion / 1999 Turtle Top conversion van headliner sagging
December 17, 2017, 04:56:23 PM
Hi, I have a 1999 Ford E-250 conversion van that is a Turtle Top High Top high top and interior conversion.
The headliner's decorative center wood trim piece with mood and reading lights installed is screwed into a strip of hidden plywood that is glued to the foam side of the headliner vinyl material. This hidden plywood support is not attached to the fiberglass Turlet top roof, or anything else from the feel/looks of it, but rather hanging (sagging) loose from Turtle Top ceiling. It appears the only thing supporting the entire weight of the entire headliner or ceiling is the vinyl headliner material itself.
My questions are: Was this the OEM install? Or has the hidden plywood mounting become detached from the Turtle Top ceiling/roof? I can send phone photos if it would be helpful to see what I am speaking about.
I am trying to figure out how I can access the topside of the headliner panel in order to secure the hidden plywood strip via epoxy resin, construction adhesive, etc. to the Turtle Top roof so the headliner does not come down on the occupants someday if the vinyl ages and gives way.
