BAY AREA Mini in need of HEADLINER

Located in the South SF Bay Area (Cupertino). 2004 Cooper S needs headliner love. Anyone available to repair/replace it? Or know anyone that can? Willing to go as far south as Monterey and as far north as Marin County.

Thanks for checking the post.

You have some local Mini Cooper clubs in your area as they would know the shops that do good work.

Cost of replacing it new is kind of high, cost of recovering is not to bad, better if you do the time consuming part of taking it out. It is not hard just lots of time to do it carefully.


The cloth can be sourced from various venders from near perfect match to adding your own personal touch with a material and pattern.


Motor On!

If you want black suede, like mine, Joann's sells it for like $8 a yard.

If you buy the materials, I'm passing through that area in about a week. Send me a PM, and we can talk. Buy the materials and some cookies and/or beer, and I'll show you how to do it!

Or I can do it for you for 100 bucks+materials (~$50), either way works

cookies and beer? Too bad you aren't in my area - I recovered mine, did not go as well as planned, but it doesn't flap in the breeze anymore.
