Dam its started to sag.......so what are people doing, removing it, having the existing one removed and recover or replacing it with new.
What kind of money are people paying to fix?

Sagging headliner remedy

i paid $150 for a new one. It looks great, and I thought was a great deal to keep my disco looking younger. Any good upholstery shop can do it.
Mine is sagging also. Where do you buy a new one? No brainer for $150 (thats the cheapest any of my repairs cost)

You don't buy a new headliner.... you pay an upholstory shop to re-cover your existing with fabric. Shoulc cosy anywhere from $150-200. If you bought new from dealer... I would imagine you'd pay a ton of money - minimum four figures.

The upholstery shop will have the fabric or at least a sample and they can order whatever color or pattern you want. A buddy of mine had the interior of his Land cruiser upholstered in a Budweiser print, seats, headliner, doors. I got a headach just sitting in it. My point is that a good shop will know what to do. You just need to tell them what fabric you want.
$1.99 for headliner sag clips from Pepboys. They are like pushpins with the pin part being a spiral and a clrea head.
In my experience, glueing or replacing just means you will have to do it again when it wears out.
Fasteners are forever.
Just trying to keep you from wasting your money.
If you like, spend the ten bucks on the fasteners and paint, then send me the other $290.

The pushpins will help to keep it from dropping on your head, but it will still sag between the pins.
Re-gluing the material is at very best a temporary fix, at worst it will not work. The reason is that the material has a foam back, the foam back has deteriorated and you will be trying to glue dust to dust. Removing the fabric and deteriorated foam will allow you to glue new material on (or have it done), which should then last as long as a non-LR headliner.

OK. Solution seems to be:
If truck is still in decent shape, your only vehicle, have to carry people in it you might want to impress b/c you drive a Land Rover, get a new headliner
If truck is 2nd or 3rd car and your trail machine, just go with the push pins

Not really. Mine didn't. If you look at the picture, you can even see the contours of where the sun roof goes. The only flawed place is on the transition between horizontal and vertical.parthog said:
