The detachment of the headlining fabric is a common defect in various models; you can remedy this issue by removing the old fabric and gluing on a new one: this operation obviously requires removing the headlining from the vehicle; start by disconnecting the battery, then remove the trim plastics from the windscreen pillars, the door pillars after removing the seat belts, and the rear window pillars; continue by removing the grab handles, sun visors, courtesy lights, but especially the rear shelf and the rear seat backrest to extract the headlining from the boot.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
