Headliner Drooping Down?

What I've found to be the cheapest and easiest rig/fix for this problem is to stop at your local craft store and pick up a pack of brass/decorative tacks. Start in the center of the headliner and work outward in all directions pushing a tack into the headliner and straight up into the padding of the roof. Tack placement is up to you and the end result will be kinda like a button/tuck roof. Just remember to try and keep the sag of the headliner even between the tacks. I've done this on several cars and it works great.

I tried to replace the glue on a headliner once...ONCE. I took the liner out, laid it neatly out on my front porch, sprayed it down with the glue, picked it up it was immediately blown up against me by a gentle breeze. I struggled with it until it and myself was just a jumbled mass of headliner and glue! So if you're going to replace it, pay somebody and save yourself the embarassment! LOL

Rick's tacks work, and I have used dress pins to hold the headliner up. As long as the pattern is neat it is better than drooping. Replacement is nice if you can afford it but I've never had a drooping headliner that was worth replacing... and a 17 year old car is probably past the "worth it" stage. I've tried spray adhesive, too. It doesn't work because the foam piece between the headliner base and the cloth is crumbling. The fumes from the spray don't dissipate before it is all fallen down again.

Headliner Drooping Down?

Have an older car (station wagon) the headliner is starting to droop and sag down - not torn

just starting to sag in all the wrong places - like the drivers seat - is this a major problem to

fix and get it back up correctly - car runs good - has been well maintained and had no...

Headliner Pins

Headliner Tacks

It'll cost anywhere from $125 to $150 to replace the headliner. Or you can do the easy "redneck" fix and pin it up with a bunch of straight pins. The headliner is nothing more than cloth glued to a thin foam backing that is form fitted. Work the pins like you are sewing. You could also try removing it from the frame and re-gluing it to the backing with spray can glue.

While it might be possible to support parts of the headliner, it has been my experience that you needs to be replaced.

Old material is very hard to work with.

It isn't terribly expensive to replace a headliner, and it makes a world of difference in appearance.

Thats a good question I hope you'll get valuable answers

spray glue from hardware stores works wonders.
