2005 Bambi - Remove Headliner

[94Tri]

Doesn't seem crazy to me Roy B. It looks great. I think a person should personalize their AS if they want to.......sort of like customizing a Harley. Like the pics.

thanks guys ..... today i drove out and picked up a sample for the table and counter tops. Wilsonart has a new color call "Satin Stainless" looks just ike a piece of stainless steel so i think we will use it if the wife approves the color,i am color blind so i do leave that to her plus she was an art major in college. Got more floor laid today :-} looking good too.

I have an 05 Bambi Safari that has developed aluminum oxidation marks on the roof liner. Airstream tells me it is from the movement of the aluminum but they can only suggest a spray on product that might work. I have tried to get the spray and can't find it here in Canada. I wondered if anyone has had success removing these stains with a specific product. I may have to remove part of the liner if this doesn't work so I am also interest in anything that would remove the glue.

My 98 Bambi is 10 years old and was due for a remodel. I have taken down the head liner and and found the skin not to be suteable to leave as aluminum. lots of small holes and uneaven panals. I have not decided what I will go back with. The options are to replace the aluminum or to go back with the original materal from Airstream or
use a product like ultra leather. How ever the glue can be removed with spray on Goof-Off (Home Depot has it) It is a lot of work and is a nasty job!

yesterday while putting my new countertop and the stove back into place I decided to pull some of the carpet off the wall behind the stove area. I cleaned the glue off with the spray on goof-off you are talking about. I was amazed that it took it off and the skin looked great after i spent time cleaning it. It makes me want to take all of it down, but i am still afraid it wont look that good everywhere and it wuld tkae quite awhile to clean it all. Oh well we are finished with our 05 safari for now and ready to hit the road in a few weeks for a nice little vacation. i will take a few finished pictures and post them soon.

I have been thinking that in my 98 bamby {one of the first of the new Bambies} using the aluminum skin as a finished interior serface was not a consederation. The instalation was not installed in a manner where it could be exposed. In the later models where it is used in some of the units may be the inatalation practices inproved.

It makes me nervous to think about doing it but when we return from our trip I think I will consider pulling the carpet off and taking a look. Worst thing is i have to cover it back with something better looking than the carpet that is on it now.
