How to Remove the Headliner Panel from VW Golf 6

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Body

The problem of the upholstery fabric detaching from the headliner is a common defect in many cars, particularly in various Volkswagen models; the deterioration of the glue caused by the temperature to which the roof is subjected, especially in summer, and the sponge-like fabric applied to the material causes the detachment. To resolve this issue, completely remove the old fabric and any sponge residue from the support, then glue the new fabric; this operation obviously requires removing the headliner, which involves taking off the sun visors, handles, pillar trims, and light fittings: the panel will then be extracted through the rear hatch. Cleaning the support is essential for the adhesion of the new fabric, and upholstery glue should be applied to both surfaces, allowing it to dry for a few minutes before bonding the two elements.
