So this weekend I felt the need to do a deep clean on my X's interior. I pulled all the interior, stripped the seats from the frames and foam and sprayed everything down with a hose and shampoo. I washed the seat covers in the washer and let them hang dry. Fabric looks good as new. I had some rust on the frames so I grinded the rust off, cleaned the frame and sprayed the frame with rustolium (sp?), then I sprayed the frames with undercoating to give them that extra seal. Next I am going to redeodorize the fabric before re-installing. Truck will smell and look oh so good.

did you clean the interior ceiling the same way? or not at all. living in so cal, i have my windows open alot but man, after a while, its filthy as hell. i want them clean, but dont want them clean and detached from the ceiling if they are glued....

I didnt clean the ceiling. I dont know if water will damage the material. I have a carpet shampoo'er with several attachments. I would be willing to try it if it would not damage anything.

STOP!!! Don't...nothing worse than a sagging headliner! Thin material and marginal glue on all factory headliners.

I rented a commercial steam cleaner and cleaned everything including the headliner with great results and no problems.

fullback #40,

so everything is cool after cleaning the headliner?

what type of cleaning fluid did you use?

For Headliners, any type of Dry cleaning is best. Wetting down your Headliner at any time will show problems sooner or later.

yeah i used the interior cleaner sold at the rental place and an anti foam ingredient. Worked great and no sagging or anything.
