I've got a bit of a weird favor to ask of anyone here. I can't get GOOP in Canada. Ordering through amazon for 2 containers ends up being around 80 dollars canadian + 45 dollars Shipping cost. If I paypal'd someone the cost of a few tubs + shipping + a little extra for your troubles would someone be able to ship some north of the boarder for me? The only GOOP product we get up here is adhesive. 

I can't imagine these various automotive hand cleaners are all that much different. It's not 'sandy' or gritty type stuff. Its smooth and lightly creamy, and inexpensive.  Go to your local automotive parts chain and see what they have for a twoonie. I'm betting it'll provide the same results. Try this stuff at Canadian tire.

Wow. After seeing your visor I'm sold. I replaced the headliner and I've been procrastinating with the visors because I figured I would need to have them recovered to look nice. They'll still be floppy as hell but I think I'll give the goop a shot.

I am looking to put the original door cards and seats that came with my car back in.  Found this post and tried GOOP on one of the rear panels last evening.  It worked like a charm!  The results were pretty impressive.  I am sold.

I forgot about this thread. Used a Magic Eraser on the headliner with pretty good luck.

Might go over it again with a little bit of GOOP.

Wait until you do the sun visor!

I rinsed the GOOP with water. Your headliner is perforated. I'm not sure how that would work  but maybe a test corner ?

My headliner is new but my visors need some love.  I'm glad this thread was resurrected!

I was not going to use GOOP on the headliner, bought some Magic Erasers for that job.  The cardboard backing on the rear panel card has a bit of crack.  I was thinking some glue to repair the cracks.  Any other options short of new board?

The first thing that came to mind for those cracks was a reinforcement piece of something, glued over the whole area instead of just gluing the cracks themselves. You could smear some glue on the cracks before attaching the custom cut reinforcement panel. This would integrate the surrounding door card as part of the repair. I am not sure if this would interfere with attaching the panel again, however. Something thin but strong, maybe?

Charles, I like NYNick's reenforcement panel idea. If you spread glue on the open cracks I would ask the experts here if the glue could penetrate, stain, or harm the vinyl as it seeps through the cracks.

 

Off topic: I am sure Dan has been using Goop and many other "exotic" products for years.

Having tried the Goop treatment on old original vinyl  I can say it cleans and shines  BUT the shine does not last

I have had excellent results repairing cracked door card boards with original Gorilla glue.  I clean off any dust with plain water and with the surface slightly damp, apply the adhesive.  The dampness helps the polyurethane glue "stick" better and is recommended by the Gorilla folks.  Two other tips: if the crack is hard to hold together with clamps, etc. use some strips of gaffers tape, etc. to hold small sections together and glue the remaining exposed areas.  Once the glue cures, pull off the tape and glue the remaining areas.  Also the glue will foam and expand as it cures, but it can be sanded down easily to get clearance in a tight area or smoothed for re-upholstery work.

Seems these guys used whatever scraps were handy for filler.

When I removed my original seats after I found my Recaros I found no less than 20 kitchen sponges each stacked like bricks in the seat-bottoms... At least the covers and frames were in great shape and was able to sell em.
