How to Replace the Headlining Fabric in Your Car

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Body

Replacing the headlining fabric in your car is a job that requires patience and method. First, remove the headlining from the cabin: undo the screws for the sun visors, handles, and interior lights, and detach the plastic clips along the perimeter. Carefully extract the panel. Remove the old fabric and any residual adhesive with a spatula and a hairdryer (to soften the glue). Clean the surface of the support thoroughly. You can purchase a complete kit (fabric + specific glue) on Amazon with code B0FLVT28P2 for £17.49, with free delivery. Apply a specific spray adhesive for automotive fabrics (heat resistant) to both surfaces. Wait for the indicated drying time. Position the new fabric (with any padding) on the support, starting from the centre and spreading it outwards with a plastic spatula. Cut off the excess and finish the edges. Refit the headlining in reverse order. It’s a challenging job, but the result is very satisfying.
