LMC Headliner - any good? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

FL71C10 · 04-21-2023, 08:52 AM

Getting ready to buy a new headliner. LMC has them for $99 plus @20 oversize shipping charge. Others are $179 or $199. Has anyone bought the LMC one?

Any reports on the quality of the LMC headliner?

Thanks!

John

You must be getting the Black Headliner? Total, it will be around $150

OregonNed · 04-21-2023, 11:02 AM

I'm curious too as I have considered this

Have you bought one from LMC?

FL71C10 · 04-24-2023, 11:36 PM

I am surprised no one has bought a headliner from LMC.

I'm looking at getting their chrome headliner trim piece w/ screws. Original has been broken on the back section. I seem to remember them costing a lot more awhile back? Curious about the fit as well...

OregonNed · 04-27-2023, 03:49 PM

For the longest time I have also wanted to find a template of one for size to make my own - same for kick panels/carpeted kind

CatskillCruiser · 04-28-2023, 12:41 PM

I find all their stuff to be China junk!

**DA71Grande** · 04-29-2023, 09:38 AM

I got mine from lmc back in 2018 I think it was PUI brand fit was good and haven’t had any issues

I already have the trim kit that I think I got from Classic Parts.

That headliner looks awesome! I will be looking into that, I was just asking in another post about the headliner. Yours turned out great looking nice job.

DA71Grande,

Did you use any adhesive to hold it up?

I believe others here have used 3M Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive to secure their headliner before adding the chrome trim pieces.

Couple rows of 3m double sided tape to hold it so I could get the trim on

FL71C10 · 06-07-2023, 12:06 PM

OK, ready to put in the headliner. Suggestions on adhesive?

1 1/2" Velcro worked great for me!

**douce48** · 12-26-2023, 11:48 AM

Doug,
I purchased a LMC headliner and it has a luan plywood backing to it.
Did your headliner have the same backing and was the trim (with the "rigid" luan backing) enough to hold it in place?
I understand the double sided tape to assist but is the headliner rigid enough to not require 3M adhesive spray and the trim holds it firm?

Thanks Bill

**1970cstblazer** · 12-26-2023, 01:52 PM

I have bought their headliner trim for my '72, and it looks and fit good. Their upholstery/interior parts are usually sourced from PUI.

Sicklajoie · 12-28-2023, 06:34 PM

I just put up this headliner and trim from NPD - not sure where they get them from.
Used the 1.5" wide industrial velcro to hold it up.
Very happy with the results.

Anyone know of a discount code for LMC for December?
Trying to order a few things...

Thank you.

Extended Power · 12-30-2023, 08:16 PM

Not sure what the difference is between the LMC $104.75 headliner, and the Brother’s Truck $339.99 headliner...neither have the trim, you gotta buy it separately...LMC’s trim is $100, and Brothers is anywhere from $100 to $150?

I order the one from LMC with their trim.

**DA71Grande** · 12-30-2023, 11:02 PM

Bill,

Same headliner and the 3m tape has held up good just make sure you clean up the surface before using the tape
