How do I get foam, glue, off the roof of a truck that had a camper cabover bunk?

Modifying a 2009 Chevrolet Uplander to create a camper van by removing and raising the roof is a complex undertaking. While it's technically possible, it requires advanced automotive skills, structural modifications, and compliance with safety standards. Roof removal and elevation must consider the vehicle's structural integrity, weight distribution, and aerodynamics. Consulting with a professional automotive engineer or conversion specialist is crucial to ensure the modifications meet safety regulations. Moreover, local authorities may have specific regulations governing such alterations. Before attempting any modifications, thoroughly research and consult experts to ensure the camper van conversion is both safe and legal.

You will need to remove the entire headliner, being careful not to crack the foam it is constructed. You will need to remove all the plastic door pillar covers, any clothes hangers, the dome light, etc.
You can purchase headliner fabric and adhesive at most fabric stores. The personnel there will assist you in getting the correct adhesive. You must remove all the old headliner fabric and backing pad material to get to the foam core for installation of the new headliner fabric. Lay out the fabric and cut it to size, allowing for some overlap in case you err slightly when positioning it. You will apply the adhesive to the foam core and to the back of the headliner fabric. It is a contact-type cement. Carefully position the fabric over the foam core and work from the center out to position it, being careful not to trap wrinkles or to stretch the fabric excessively. Trim off the excess and reinstall headliner.

The worst occurrence with a camper is water intrusion. This causes de-lamination of the fiberglass to the mounting
board. One has to check any and al places where water may enter through cracks in caulking and also screws. Most campers are attached with screws and then the screws are covered with a plastic covering to hide the screws. If water gets behind and around these screws, it
will follow the threads inside the camper in a wicking manner. Only way to stop it is to remove the screws and put caulking in the screw hole before replacing the screws.
Also look for any cracks on roof or in caulking no matter how small - water will find its way inside. Best caulk to use is one that is self leveling and stays soft. Do NOT use RTV
Silicone Caulk! it collects dirt and will eventually pull off.
I recommend same caulk used by mfg of the rubber roof.
Caulk will not stick to anything wet - has to be completely dry and clean.

remove the headlining then squirt some foam filler behind the support bars ,i think they may be flexing causing the noise as this sort of fault is common the rover 75

once the cloth has come loose from the foam your pretty much out of luck,, I took mine to a upholostery shop , but if your game and want to give it a shot,, check this out http://www.merkurencyclopedia.com/Interior/headliner.html please take a moment to rate my research and response thanks Good Luck

u will need to replace the headliner, u can't glue it back onto the foam backing

reuse the foam from the old core, glue it on using weatherstrip glue, yes you need it or sir will bypass the core and you will have no heat

Hi brad, I had the same problem with a camper. I do not know of any available schematic, but would recommend dis-assembly of ceiling area to fix. It's not any easy job, but the only way to fix it properly. Remove all water damage section, make sure water is not pooling on the exterior roof. If it is collecting on the roof, you must brace it from underneath to raise any 'dips' so it sheds water, and make sure you apply a sealing coat (available at trailer stores, or on line) on the exterior. Also, if you park the camper when not in use, make sure you tilt it to help shed water more quickly. You have to use your carpenter and auto body skills to fix this. Don't put it off, I did and the roof deteriorates very quickly once you notice you have a problem. To remove plywood that is damaged, use a skill saw set at the minimum depth (thickness of the plywood) so you don't cut thru anything else. Use a drill to determine the thickness. To install new plywood, cut to fit the opening(s). Next get 3" wide by 3/4" thickness boards, place above cut out area, half on existing ceiling, half hanging over cut out, screw in thru existing ceiling into boards, attach replacement piece, screw into overhanging boards. You can putty over the joints, sand sand and paint, or just glue some sort of fabric to cover the area and make it look finished. Good luck!

if you pick up a can of spray glue at you local hardware store, spray the underside of the roof liner and the roof, wait a couple minutes for the glue to cure and press them together starting from where its stuck natural and rub it into place.
let me know how you make out
