Sagging Headliner - Land Rovers Only

troverman · 11-10-2005, 10:24 AM

Headliner is sagging from the rear forward to the point where the roof lowers to accomodate the sunroof! How can I fix this w/o spending big on a new headliner? y Classic had the same problem, I used clips which do work but I hate to destroy the roof so much on the 4.0. Has anyone tried ironing, regluing, etc?

Thanks in advance.

I had a problem like yours. Since I knew i wasn't going to make it any worse i figured i would try a glue. I used gorilla glue, which is supposed to be very good and it worked out great. I did it about 6 weeks ago and even with the subs pounding in my truck it still stays. I would probably go with that. Just don't use too much, and put it on evenly. Hope this helps!

hot glue gun. Its cheap its easy and best of all dries quickly.

Trust me we use it in the shop for broken trim pieces.

Thanks for replies, am I correct to assume you are removing the headliner from the vehicle, stripping the cloth off, and re-gluing?
