Headlining sag

[Sid123]

Hi
My 2009 VXR8 headlining is beginning to sag a little above the driver and passenger front seats.
Can anyone recommend someone who can fix it economically and if they are in London or near even better,
Thank you.

Same question for a 2004 Monaro in S Wales 😬

I think there was an old episode of “ Josh’s car corner” on “YouTube” that covered this subject.
It can be done diy, but it’s a bit involved when it comes to removing the trim without breaking some of the plastic clips. From memory the head lining sags when the glue dries out.
Under the black fabric is a foam base backing which can deteriorate over time.
Lots of cleaning and spray glue required.

Specifically high temperature trim adhesive. I did a head lining on a Freelander 1 twice, first time using the wrong stuff. Then in the warm weather it all unstuck itself.
You'll need new headliner material, and apart from the total chaos of removing all interior trim, you'll also spend a fair old time scraping and removing the dead foam.
Planning and sticking the new headliner with a light stretch and getting it wrinkle free is also a skill in itself too.
It's a day's work.
Here is the messiest stage.

TBH a Monaro or VXR8 will be slightly more straightforward as it's half the size of one of these with no netting and pockets etc. Nonetheless it'll be work !!

Had my headlining replaced a couple of years ago by a company on Bromley Common.
Was £800!
