What is headliner repair?

A sagging roof lining re-glued or re-covered so it no longer drops onto your head.

Over time the foam backing on a headliner breaks down, often faster in hot NZ summers, and the fabric starts to sag. The fix is usually to remove the headliner board, strip the old fabric and foam, and re-cover it with new material bonded with heat-resistant adhesive.

Signs you need it

  • Roof lining sagging or bubbling
  • Fabric touching your head
  • Stains on the roof lining

How it works

  1. Remove trims, lights and handles
  2. Remove headliner board
  3. Strip old fabric and foam
  4. Apply new material with heat-resistant adhesive
  5. Refit board and trims

You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.

How much does it cost?

The exact price depends on your vehicle and the job. On MYLES, each professional shows a fixed price, a starting price, a range, or sends a quote — so you can compare like for like before you book.

  • Vehicle size
  • Sunroof
  • Material chosen

Tips

  • Pins and spray glue are only a short-term fix
  • Sunroofs make the job longer

Why it matters

A sagging headliner can obstruct your view and fails to look cared for.

FAQ

Headliner Repair: your questions

Didn't find your answer?

Help centre
Why does a headliner sag?

Over time, heat breaks down the foam and adhesive behind the fabric, so it detaches from the roof.

Can it just be glued back?

Spray glue rarely lasts and can stain. A proper repair re-covers or re-bonds the lining.

Does a sunroof change the repair?

Yes, it adds work. Mention it in your request so quotes are accurate.

Can headliner repair be done at my home or work?

Yes. Mobile professionals can do headliner repair at your home, work or depot, or you can visit a workshop. Choose "At my place" when you request quotes.

How is the price of headliner repair set on MYLES?

Each professional sends you a quote for your vehicle before anything is booked, in the same format so you can compare.
