Title: Cabin Liner
Post by: mattleach2114 on August 15, 2018, 01:56:05 PM

Have a 92 210 Explorer. The liner on the roof/walls of the cabin has seen better days.

Planning on doing something with it this winter. Had thoughts of removing everything in there and simply painting with bedliner material but worried about how it will look and the work involved grinding out all of the glue.

I've also thought about replacing with some foam backed vinyl. Figured this would be easier to clean, wouldn't need to worry about existing glue as it would hid it and would retain the sound dampening properties.

Anyone ever redone their cabin interior? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Are you talking about the "mouse fur" carpet?

Yup mouse fur or rats hair. I've put that stuff if a few times. The reason why they use that stuff is it can stretch in any direction and easily conform to  compound curves. This makes makes it easy to put it in and it covers up lumpy uneven surfaces.  Foam backed vinyl would work but getting it smooth will be difficult.  Also rats hair is cheap.
