Why Reattaching the Car Headlining Fabric is Not Advisable

Model: (Various brands) Various

Video tutorial

Reattaching the car headlining fabric is not advisable for several reasons: the fabric will never fit precisely again, as it has been laser cut and the holes and folds will not return to their original position. Additionally, the headlining fabric is backed with foam.

If it has come loose, it is because the foam has detached from the fabric. It is impossible to re-glue it: Bostik will leave a wet mark as it never dries, Attack will burn the fabric and foam, and silicone will damage the cardboard backing of the headlining, making any future repairs impossible.

The only solution is to replace the fabric.
