Why headliners sag
A headliner is fabric bonded to a foam backing on a rigid board. Texas heat breaks that foam down over time, the glue lets go, and the fabric drops onto your head. Pins and spray adhesive don’t last, because the foam underneath is already gone.
The fix is to take the board out, strip the old fabric and crumbled foam, and recover it with new foam-backed headliner material. Done right, it looks factory again and stays up.
What’s included
- Removing the headliner board, dome lights, grab handles and trim.
- Stripping the old material and cleaning the board back to a solid surface.
- Recovering it with new headliner fabric in a colour that suits your interior.
- Refitting the board and trim, including overhead consoles.
- Sun visors recovered to match, if you want them done at the same time.
The process
- Check the boardMost boards can be reused. If yours is cracked or warped, you’ll know before work starts.
- Strip and cleanEvery trace of old foam comes off so the new material bonds properly.
- RecoverNew material is laid and bonded smooth, without wrinkles around curves and cut-outs.
- RefitThe board, lights and trim go back in, and the job gets a final check from the driver’s seat.
How long it takes
Customers have dropped off a car and picked it up the same day, including on Saturdays. Larger vehicles, sunroofs and overhead consoles add time, so call ahead and ask what to expect for your vehicle.
