Wondering if anyone has done this or if anyone has ideas on solutions for replacing the ugly carpet on the headliner of our cabin to make it look modern.

Thanks for any advice!
 
Yes ----- I removed it and replaced it with a car headliner. Basically it is a 1/4 inch foam already laminated to a stretchy nylon woven fabric that can be glued right in place with a high quality industrial /high heat spray adhesive. If there are any large bumps or voids in the surface under the carpet you can address and sand them before applying the headliner.
 
I like this one to. I already pulled the carpet and have been open to any ideas for a replacement. I'll be looking into this idea after I finish with the wiring.

I replaced the entire headliner throughout the boat with Haul Blanket and 3M headliner adhesive. There are numerous products you can pick from a company called Sailrite. The boat was a 1991 270 DA. It looked like a new boat when I finished. Good Luck
 
So many great options, thanks! I'll post some before/after pics when I'm done.

What is " Haul Blanket" ??
 
Started on this project, when pulling it down, the old headliner leaves a redish dust on the surface of the fiberglass, as well as the very old adhesive. Tried using something from Home Depot, barely made a dent. Used 3M spray adhesive remover, also did nothing. Wonder if just scrubbing it with a wire brush until it doesn't have any 'dust' anymore will be enough to glue the new headliner up.
