Warming up headliner
« on: January 24, 2011, 01:39:41 PM »
Hoping to get the headliner installed this weekend, its been laying out for a while but I still have a few stubborn wrinkles. Letting it warm up in the sun "ain't gonna happen", -7 last night, Can I safely tumble it in the dryer or am I worrying about nothing and just stretch them out when we install? Really didn't want to stand in front of it with a hair dryer for an hour either.

Thanks,
Greg

Always just set them out in the sun but have heard others have had success using the clothes dryer

+1 clothes drier on absolute low or no heat works.

I used the clothes dryer on my trunk mat and it worked soo-perbly!
