Sagging headliner?
I bought an 04 TL back in January this year, and right under the sunroof, the headliner was hanging down. I recently took it to the dealer and they fixed the problem. But now, about a two weeks later, it's back down again!
I know it's only double sided tape, but anyone have this problem, or know what I should do? Thanks for your help! |

The service person told me there was a new kit that they installed for the headliner. I still don't see how it's supposed to say up with just double sided tape!? Thanks, I'll print it out and take it in to make sure that's what they did.

the kit is not a long lasting fix. if your head liner is saging and a line or v sag has developed . it will need a hew headliner.

Some folks here just fixed it themselves with epoxy glue and new double sided tape. I think Southern Boy did a write-up on this. But if the headliner is damaged, definitely go back to the dealer and have them do the TSB. I had the TSB done to my 04 in 2004 and it's held ever since.

Will do, the headliner does have a V/fold/crease where its sagging, so I'm gonna take it back to see if they can replace it.

Use Epoxy and the heavy plastic velcro from radio shack. I fix these all the time with these two items.

Well the epoxy finally met its match. South Florida heat. Sitting in the sun during the day at work, it eventually broke the glue down enough to where it would not even stick at all anymore. So, I went out this afternoon and bought some high heat resistant loc-tite epoxy. It took me a few minutes and a lot of fucking sweat to get all of the old glue off and sand it down so the epoxy will hold again. This time I am using an extra piece of industrial grade velcro to make the attachment point be closer together. I will post up the results in the next few days to how the high heat epoxy holds. My initial tests I did on the velcro to metal doesn't look very good so keep checking the thread if you are having this problem. We're gonna get it fixed :)

The high heat loc-tite epoxy still didn't do the trick. It will bond with the metal but not the material on the velcro.
I'm really starting to run out of ideas here... any help would be appreciated. |
What about a hot glue gun? Anyone tried it?
