Headliner question

The headliner on my '92 500E is starting to sag. Can it be repaired or should I have it replaced?

BENZITCH, thank you for that link! I'm wondering if the sunroof cable guide tube on my 300E is easily accessible after the headliner board is dropped. My sunroof cable sections disintegrated in the tube . it would be nice to get my roof to open without having to shell out a grand on top of all the sunroof parts that I have invested in. Anyone have experience replacing this guide tube??

I can't see why it wouldn't be seen.

Check his site for more repairs to the sunroof also.

He has/had a 190 also at one time similar to your 300.
