Headlining coming apart

[mcandmar]

Has anybody else had this happen? The fabric has started to separate from the backing and peel away. I thought it must have got damp but its bone dry

Also if anybody can recommend any spay glue that won’t stain fabric it would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Mark.

u have to change the fabric cos what make it fall that the foam between the fabric and the panel has come apart , which color is the trim of your headliner? , spray i think 3m or wurth is fine. i bought one french kind last time and i ended up buying new trim again cos it didnt stick as it supose.

Remove it as soon as possible. When it will be all apart, u will have some problems. The foam is so sticky, it sticks to everyhing and it is a major PITA to clean. Do not separate the cloth from the foam!

Did you get this fixed? Mine has started doing the same and I'm looking for a suitable spray adhesive to fix it.

I bought a can of spray gue from ebay, its the stuff people use to stick carpet onto sub boxs, white sticky stuff when sprayed. It lasted a good while but it starting to seperate again in places, i think the key is to remove as much of the old foam as possible, then stick the fabric back on. Its not a perfect solution by any means, if i was bothered about it i would buy new fabric and recover the panel properly.

get a proper contact adhiesive (Spl) as the spray glues only last a few months, there are some good brands if you look around

I used some spray carpet glue and worked a little too well, I made the material on sunroof trim little too tight and broke plastic clips so watch out when you do it.

I replaced my headlining & sunroof pannel in 2010 & did a how to guide.

The thread is here

Hope this helps....

Mine started separating in my coupe, at the back near the top of the hatch opening. I found glue wasn't working so I removed the plastic trim that covers the edge and stapled it to the backing. The trim covers the staples. It ain't comin away now!!!!

I like it, that is my kind of fix!

I was thinking, since I am also having similar issues....

Can anyone think of a reason why the old material and foam cannot be cleaned off and the headlining board "flocked"?

You could then do the sun visors in matching flock.....

What do you think?
