Sagging roof liner...urgh!!!

[2Discos95-00]

So what can i do to fix or maybe just to stop the spread??? What have u guys done. I really dont want to staple it

I was thinking a glue spray with a small spraying tube (a la wd40) cut a small hole, spray around and push the cloth back up.

I can tell you what the local shops are going to say..."well u got 2 sunroofs and the roof curves up and Land Rover uses a special tool to get it out" and then they'll charge me as if I was Eliot Spitzer...$4300.

Mine is starting to do the same thing. I hope someone has a god remedy.

I was looking at a 2000 D2 before I bought mine. It had a sagging head liner as well. There was a guy they had do head liners for them. Usually installing a new head liner was about $95. Because the Discovery has the two sunroofs and all the curves, it was going to be alittle more. Still was only around $200. Probably a fair price for a new head liner and installation. At least that was my understanding. Ended up not buying that Disco.

I had that problem with an older car of mine. what I did was buy the glue from The auto parts store. I think the brand I got was 3M and It had a straw (like the WD40 can)

then I created a very small hole and stuck the straw in and spray it around . then neatly glued the hole back.

it was a $10 fix and it looked great.

now I've got to put in a new Sunroof for my wifes BMW 325i I've already taken her headliner out twice. oh the fun.

Good Luck guys.

I'm praying that my disco II won't have it happen.

It did, however, happen in my Discovery I before i sold it.
I did 2 different things. one in the front, and one in the back. The front was sagging near the windshield, but hadn't actually made it to the windshield. I pulled the liner down all the way to the windshield, and sprayed in some 3M adhesive spray. The stuff shoots out of the can like Peter North, so it had no problem traveling all the way to the back of the sag. The nozzle also rotated on the can of the spray i had, so it give me a wide pattern that can be either horizontal or vertical. Then I pull the sagging headliner from the front, and pressed it from the back, forward. This worked very well. It was saturated pretty well, so when i had the liner up and holding, i saw dark lines from the spray and freaked out a little. about 3 hours later they were gone, and i had no more issue with the front.

The back was only sagging in the area that the sun roof would have been, had the vehicle come with one. took a knife and cut a small circle, about the size of the head on the can. i did this in one corner of the sunroof pocket, as to be as inconspicuous as possible. I then inserted the nozzle into the hole, and sprayed the inside of the sag. after i had pressed the liner back up onto the pad, i cut a hole in a piece of paper, about the same size as the hole i had cut in the liner (not sure if that was necessary), and lined up the paper's hole up with the liner's hole. I sprayed the adhesive onto the bare foam exposed by the cut, and placed the pace of liner i had cut back into its spot. It looked great, and had no problems holding for the year i owned it after the procedure.

The liner is an orange-ish, yellow-ish color. much different than the beige headliner i had.

Hope this might give you some ideas.

At the Top of the page on the Tool Bar their is a "Search Button", click on it and Type in the word: Headliner or HeadlinerExpress

I have posted over the years may topics that are filled with Valuable information on this very topic of Sagging Headliners, if their anything I can do to help answer questions on the subject ask away, this is what I do for a living only 17 years experience on landrovers

[stolenheron]

mine is beginning to droop in small patchs near some of the curves of the car....thank god I have a warranty until late 2009 haha...i'd definetly have the idiots in the stealership replace it before the jig is up.

[HeadlinerExpress]

Be Nice !

If you come to Central Florida and have either Landrover of Orlando or Island Landrover in Merritt Island do your work under warranty than my Company will be that idiot at the stealership doing your work.

[stolenheron]

let me rephrase that. i have to work the the idiots in the parts department. lol (service reps and mechs do good work and are very good to customers...parts...not so much)

SW FL so its LR of Naples or FM Imports (Jaguar Land Rover Audi of Fort Myers).

i guess dealerships aren't that dumb if their outsource work to a professional company lol
