First post - I got an 08 LR2 SI6 from my family last year. For me it is a great beater/ski/dog trasnsport/car camp stup and much needed as the rest of my cars could never do the last 3. I've done quite a bit of travel with this LR2 since I've had it and prior. Volvo parts makes it very managable.

I'm sure I'll have a few other questions - I already know I have one on the cooling system, but at the moment I'm dragging my feet on installing a new headliner. I got the headliner board out just fine and before I go to a fabric store and slap on some basic headliner material I thought I'd see if there are any interesting ideas for headliner material.

Ideas so far
Just basic black headliner (trying to get the right tan to match seems unlikely)
suede/alcantara headliner
starlight headliner (totally unnecessary and obnoxious but thought it would be fun to do/stare at while camping)
wire wheel and paint foam board
wood (don't really want to drill anything into the metal/reduces clearance/too many wires/ridges to account for)

I broke a few interior panel clips (not headliner clips) and am having trouble identifying the part number I'll need. I believe it is LR013135, but if anyone can confirm I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you have ideas and are unfamiliar with the layout up top I took a video while car camping that should show what there is to work with.



Thanks in advance!

Years a go I repainted my headliner Think it was a Vauxhall Viva with special paint. Looked good but the smell was almost unbearable for a week after.

i'll look into it i guess. i figured it would look shoddy, but it would also save me the headache of dealing with thin fabric and glue.. odds of having imperfections are 100% for me lol https://www.youtube.com/c/HeelTow

Very detailed and helpful thanks! Confirmed the part number for me as well much appreciated!

I'm used to my cars being pretty loud in the cabin and I don't have anything done to the car. i don't carry anything on the roof and my offroad usage is very limited. As an untouched road going vehicle I find they are pretty damn quiet as is. I have to imagine your intention here was to dampen sound since you seem to travel quite a bit on unpaved roads and carry a lot on the roof? Not for any audiophile purposes I imagine

The car camping is going to be fairly infrequent for me, but knowing how to best utilize the space is key especially travelling with a dog. Surprised to see someone has actually gone to the depth you have to figure that out. https://www.youtube.com/c/HeelTow

I finally got around to installing the headliner. I ran into one issue when reinstalling and that was getting the overhead console (dome light) to snap back into place. I seem to be able to get close, but cannot get the front two clips to secure. I can't tell if the clips are grabbing on the fabric or maybe i've warped the headliner frame ever so slightly and that is all it takes (looks square to me). Right now I have a fabulous zip tie job going on to keep the front side almost in, but was wondering if anyone has come across this issue and has a better method to properly secure the console. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/c/HeelTow
