Headliner Question

Re: Headliner Question
As far as I know, there is no way to fix a headliner. You will need to have it replaced. A professional trim shop will remove your OEM headliner from the backing board, clean up the OEM board and recover with new fabric. I think most good shops will be able to match the material 100%. I have paid about $250 to have this done with OEM fabric. If you live in the DC metro area I can provide you with the name of an extremely capable shop in Maryland.
Re: Headliner Question
The sunroof cars have a vinyl type headliner instead of fabric in the non sunroof cars. Might be a little difficult to match, some people have used the cloth in the sunroof cars as replacements.

Re: Headliner Question
Ya, there is no match out there for the vinyl, I looked hard and plenty. Much like the leather and cloth for the seats.

Re: Headliner Question
Sunroofs can leak. I have heard that the vinyl shrinks over the years, don't know if TMI vinyl is a match or not, I used a cloth replacement on mine.

Re: Headliner Question
Looking at the pic it would appear that it is stretched and you can see a circle in the vinyl. I would check your sunroof weatherstrips, looks like a leak.
Re: Headliner Question
Leaky sunroofs ... one of the top three "build quality" issues with these cars. The other two being saggy map pockets and broken center console ash tray doors.

Re: Headliner Question
Thanks everyone for the replies. I decided not to buy the car because of that and it was undercoated.
Re: Headliner Question
I know sunroofs had issues, but I've personally never had that issue. The fact that the vinyl on that particular car pulled back on the board isn't necessarily water either, simple age, or getting hot during the summer will do the same thing.
