What NOT to do when the roof of a car peels off

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we can see what absolutely NOT to do when the internal ceiling of a car comes off from its support. What sticks to the roof is a very thin fabric, paired with an equally thin sponge. If we try to reattach it with two-component glue or worse still with silicone, we get what we see in the video. The two-component glue causes these stains that look like mold, while the silicone clumps up, creating an even more disgusting effect. So what is the solution? The solution is to remove the headliner and then remove the fabric first and then, with a scraper, carefully remove all the sponge and glue the new paired fabric with a specific glue for upholsterers. It is not an easy job at all, but it is the only way to go.
