How to get patches to stick to headliner (Tacoma 3rd Gen.)?

I am start collecting patches and I would like to stick them to headliner of my Tacoma 3rd Gen. Most of the patches are iron on and I would like to use stick velcro to the back of those patches before sticking them to headliner. Does this work? I am wondering if this path might damage my headliner. Any other suggestions? Thanks for all your help!

 

I use some sewing pins to hold mine up because the velcro I used didn’t stick very well

 

Pin cushion

 

I use velcro, the heavy duty stuff works great.

 

@Taco critter may be able to offer suggestions

 

Have someone who works with auto upholstery stitch in a new liner. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I wonder if the headliner in the 4Runner's are a different material. I've watched a couple overlanding channels on YouTube and their headliners are plastered with patches. None of mine will stick in my Tacoma.

 

Hilti Gun?

 

Velcro works, but you have to push pretty hard and twist back and forth a bit to get it to stick. I’ve got a few patches that already had Velcro that simply won’t stick, so I use some small sewing pins for those.

 

Hello baldbeardedtaco,

Thanks for sending the pic of your patches. how do you attach/stick them to your headliner?

 

As others have said, you've got to push and grind them into the headliner. As an alternative, the carpet around the center console is a great mounting location...

 

Third gens have a different headliner. I put mine in the footwell.
