headliner is coming off...
my headliner is coming off at the rear where it meets the back window. i've only see this on another mini that i test drove before. i have an 02 mcs, anybody have this issue and how did you fix it? does using double sided carpet tape work?

i have the same issue on the mcs i just picked up by the grab handles. i looked into the search function on google. there is a write up of how to remove the headliner and repair it .
here is one of the links https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...liner-diy.html |
Id stop by an auto upholstery shop and have them take a look / give an estimate
this is a small job for someone who knows what they are doing and can turn into a MESS for someone who doesn't I DIY a lot but my experiences in this area point me to a 'pro' and spending a few dollars. (I recolored the headliner on my 79 in place . . . and repaired sags ... but it is vinyl .... cloth and glue is a dangerous combination if not handled correctly ... danger in the size of the mess you can make!) |

I had an issue similar to this. I used some tacky fabric glue and applied it with a small artist paintbrush. Then gently pressed the fabric back in place. It has held up for over a month so far without any sign of falling.

We have a local interior guy that will recover the entire headliner for $400. So see if you can find an interior guy that will.

The only way to properly repair a falling down headliner is to have it recovered. The foam is dry rotted and trying to reglue it is a total waste of time. I removed my headliner board and had it recovered for a pretty decent price in OEM material. |

I removed my headliner board and had it recovered for a pretty decent price in OEM material. The foam is turning to dust...just like old carpet padding... Regluing it is a waste of time...and might make the right fix harder... Falling headliners have been a problem for years on cars as they hit 10 years old or so...and the MINI is no different than any other car with a padded and then fabric covered headliner... |
