Some how my headliner is sagging back there.

In my experience the fiberglass backing will hold up for 20 years or so (Honda, Volvo) before they start to let go.

Really not happy about this. Thinking of putting some thumbtacks back there to stop it from spreading.



Has there been any advancements on headliner repair where I will not have to take the whole thing out if caught early enough?

Wasn't expecting something like this until 2031!!!

I was at the auto graveyard recently and came across an earlier model R-class. With time to kill i decided to go ahead and try my hand at removing its headliner. shows the steps to do it on a ML/GL-class and its remarkably similar.

There are guys around me who work at car shops that redo headliners. These guys also do this on the side and inwas told they can get it done for $300-$400 if they have to deal with removing and reinstalling the headliner vs $200 or so if i bring the headliner to them. Im VERY tempted to do the headliner myself based on what i am seeing on Youtube and tbe fact that i need to do the headliner in my truck also.

IF i am to go this route i'd likely try my hand at the truck first as the HL is easier to deal with and any rookie mistakes that might occur can be easily forgiven with it.

Any thoughts from anyone who has tried this?
