  • Sagging Headliner

    Headliner started sagging in the back, then the AC belt broke, the young lady I was with insisted we roll down the window, and now the headliner sags from the back of the sunroof on back. Well, not sag, just hangs down from the sunroof back.

    The grey material still has a little of the yellow "foam looking" stuff on it, there is most of the yellow "foam looking" stuff on the roof - or on the cardboard, whatever of the headliner.

    I was looking at 3M's headliner adhesive. They have one for heavy headliners, and one for light headliners. I'm guessing I want the light adhesive?

    I'm figuring pulling the trim, and using the adhesive to do a temporary fix. Can I do a resonable repair job with just patience and desire, or is this something that takes practice to fix right?

    Besides sagging, headliner is in great shape. I don't really have the money to have a profesional do a new headliner, if that's even an option.

    Thoughts? Hints?

    Thanks in advance

    Did you try a SEARCH for "headliner" yet?

      Two things I've read on the subject. First the foam comes apart and anything you do with the old fabric will be short lived. Take the headliner out and take it to a shop that does interiors. I've heard you can get it covered with new fabric for $50.

      I have a 67 tbird to do soon.

        Thanks Kevin, good feedback. Adding that to the search I should have done as Bud suggested, I'll just get a pro to fix it, sounds reasonable.

        After 6+ months of down time, I know I should have searched first, I'll just offer the excuse I was impatient.
