How do you replace roof lining with no exsisting lining, metal only?

Question

94 Dodge Ram 1500, 2D

Answer 1

An upholstery shop can handle this job. If you want to try your self, get a high temperature resistant spray on adhesive and cut cloth a little big for the roof area. Remove the trim from around the windshield and doors. Start at the center and press the material into the adhesive (sprayed onto roof). Smooth out all the wrinkles with a flat edge blade. Trim the excess off around the edges. Reinstall the trim. Voila! You are now an upholsterer.

Yes, you should definitely replace it with ONLY steel lines. Since it's an 80s Honda, you might as well just sell it for scrap. But, as for the other person, if the car is taken care of, the brake lines won't rust. Plus, if you have a brake LINE that's leaking, you shouldn't be driving the car. If you get in an accident and they find out you knew about the issue but continued to drive with it that way, they realistically could press assault charges and file a lawsuit against you personally, plus your insurance company would drop you, and likely deny the insurance claim, or charge you back for it. And yes, they can do that. And yes, this question can be used as evidence. But, as for the defense that the rubber lines are on the ends, there's a reason for that...So the wheels can move up and down and turn. But 18" of rubber line as opposed to 15+ feet (per wheel) will have a much lower likelihood of bursting from pressure, plus if you scrape over a speed bump or curb, for example, it's quite easy to puncture rubber, whereas the steel lines are smaller diameter and can be tucked out of the way, plus steel is more durable. Also, you'll notice that most people upgrade and replace the stock rubber hoses with braided stainless steel lines.
