Video tutorial

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.

To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
