Got mine out to fix a leak and the felt is disgusting

Going to just take it off and I seen someone paint theirs with "flatbed truck" paint, looked good!

Anyone ever done it?

I would imagine the hard bit will be getting the gluey sponge off after the felt!

Anyone got any tips?

Mines done!
Took the crap off, power blasted, cleaned up (not all glue came off!) painted with light gray, put back on! It looks good! If not better that original!

Thank you

Haha I thought you meant actually jet wash but the headliner material, ie not the felt the actual body doesnt look overly strong to handle a stream of jet water!?

without the 'soft' headliner the cavity inside the cabin will become reverberating for sound. something to consider.

I recovered mine with some new headliner material but it wasn't very stretchy so had a few small creases in it. Next time I'll get some stretchy stuff.
