Clean your headliner lately?

[Deserion]

Cleaned my headliner (again) yesterday. Wipes came out near-black!

I'd hate to see what the '03s and '04s look like...

Hope that's not the dye you are removing...

I don't think it is, the headliner still looks like night. After subsequent passes, the wipes turn into a light gray...

Headliners in the coupes catch dirt like crazy, too, but are just more noticible as they are beige and gray, not black.

What kind of wipes are you using?

[Deserion]

Non-scent non-alcohol Huggies.

Wonder if just a good vacumming would be better????

Thanks Des. No one believes me when I say there are tons of uses for those things!
ps...vacumming does diddly

And I thought I was the only one who uses those.

can you tell me what the headliner is?

I noticed some dirt on the roof line when I had it down today. This is where it sits in the joint ...when the roof is up.

We get alot of rain here and now that the nice weather is out I would like to take a brush or something to the top of my car, around the bottom seam near the back window....there is a little bit of green stuff building there from the wet Vancouver weather.....I know soap is not a great thing for the roof but what else can I use on it?

I too would like to know exactly what a headliner is (I only *think* I know what it is).

I've read numerous posts, nbc_buttercup, and Raggtopp is the recommended cleaner for the top - NO SOAP.

The headliner is the cloth lining inside the roof. The black fabric that runs from the latch handle to below the rear window.

Gosh
Thanks ....I did not know the inside of the roof had it's own name. I have to look into getting some of this RaggTop stuff sent to Canada.
