Girlfriend's headliner in her car started drooping down a couple of weeks ago. She complains about it all the time so I'm here to ask how to fix it, how hard it is to do, and at worst, price to have someone else do it. Headliner is perfect and doesnt need replaced, just put back in place.

Car is an 04 Jetta with no interior damage. Thanks for the help in advance

 

They make headliner adhesive that you can buy at autozone.

 

I have done this plenty of times, it's a pain in the ass if she has a sunroof, but just easy to get it done right instead of having tacks and stuff. just go to wal mart and get some fabric from the sewing department, some spray adhesive, and get to work.

There's the thread how to remove the headliner, so get some fabric, and get to work.

 

1. Thumb tacks (works real well till you can afford a new one or purchase a used one)
2. Take headliner off yourself and use Fabric glue to repair.



Two easy and inexpensive fixes

 

thanks for the input, i'll see if she will trust me enough to do it for her. She hates that car but is so protective of it its insane lol

 

and thats a great write up, thanks for the link

 

its really not that bad to do, but its also easier to do it right and buy new material as well.. When it starts to droop it will stretch and not go back together flat and smooth.

 

Buy new fabric if your going to do it. Or call 813 391-4062 and ask for Eddie, hey does auto upholstery, and charges cheap for headliner work, and can do it mobile or at his garage, and in a short amount of time.

PM if you want.

Edit:
For the price of buying good fabric and adhesive, you can pay very little more and hey can do it, and do a perfect, painless, headace free job. He buys his supplies with his business tax, so the good stuff is way cheaper for him.

 

^ is this the guy you gave me to do my seats? If so he never answers or calls back....

 

Do you have the right number? Maybe I gave it to you wrong? PM me.
