Has aanyone had any experience in removing water caused stains in headliner? I have a 2001 Thunder that has many stains as I had a serious leak and had to replace the skylite in the shower.

Yes!!  I need to know if we are talking the vinyl or the cloth material.  Carol's Coach Concoction 2 is tongue in cheek but does work better than what the pro's use.
We have had to remove those same stains on almost every wall.
Get back to me or just search on this forum for the above.
Have faith, the right process and a couple hours and very little cost will do the trick.

I believe thyat the headliner is a vinyl with sound deadning foam about 1/4" thick - it does not feel like cloth and is not carpet. our headliner looks like a raod map now with all of the stains from the bed room to the front of the coach!

I created a new thread for "Carols Coach Concoction" just in case you had cloth problems.  Vinyl is another thing.  I assume that you have tried vinyl cleaners?
By the sound of it the leaking skylight caused enough moisture in the coach to condense on the ceiling but  that's a guess.  Hopefuly its dried out now and cleanup is the end of it for you.
I'm thinking a good vinyl cleaner but perhaps posting a photo might generate other ideas.
email me direct if I can help

You know what, I have a 98 Marquis with cloth head and wall coverings.  I just use Joy dish detergent, a few drops, mixed in water, use a brush, and voila, stains gone.

I havent tried this though I know Joy is a little different than most.  What , you sponge it on and dry it?  Any rinse?   We tried everything else but am glad to know about Joy as we are fixing some leaks again.

Hi all, thanks for the input re stains. They are from a major leak at the skylight and had to replace it, and now the fun begins! I did not want to try any unproven methods as they most always end up making the stains more perminate and certainly do not want that. The stains as I have said look like a road map rather than "drops" and appear to be where the water edge stopped and the tracks are ragged rather than a "straight" type line (stain).

I have got to try the hydrogen peroxide thing.  Thanks Carol.
Anything that leaves soap in cloth will dry with a residue that collects dirt.  Thus our idea of vinegar in water to get out the soap.
