Same job either way — we pull the board, strip it down, and recover it in new material. Whether yours is drooping on your head or you simply want a black roof instead of a grey one, that is the work.
Your headliner is fabric bonded to a thin layer of foam, and that foam is glued to a rigid board shaped to your roof. Over years of heat cycling, the foam turns to powder. The fabric stops holding on and starts to drop — usually at the back window first, then across the roof.
Experience isn't optional. Twenty-plus years of trim work, and the same answer every time: recover the board.
That's why gluing it back up doesn't hold. There's nothing left underneath for the adhesive to grab. Pins and tacks catch the fabric in one spot and let it sag around them. Whatever is still up there today is running on borrowed time — once the foam starts breaking down, the rest of it follows.
So we take the board out of the vehicle, strip the failed material and what's left of the foam, and recover it with new foam-backed headliner fabric. Back in the car it looks the way it did from the factory, and it stays there.
The other half of the people who call us have nothing wrong with theirs. They want the roof darker, or in suede rather than cloth, because the rest of the interior has moved on and the headliner hasn't. It is the same job — board out, recovered, board in — and once it is out, the color is simply a choice of what goes back on.
Most headliners quote from a couple of pictures — one of the sagging area, one of the whole roof. Vehicle year, make and model tells us the rest, because the board and the trim around it drive the labor. Changing the color rather than fixing a problem? Then we only need the vehicle — tell us what you want the roof to be and we will show you what we have.
Better pricing than we could put in writing here.
