Has anyone had their headliner replaced in the Houston area? Mines falling out badly and need to get it fixed. Too much orange foam falling. Thanks in advance.

There is a good how-to on here to DIY: http://newbeetle.org/forums/styling-modifications/12615-headliner-ala-scaraby2k-d-i-y-joint.html

But otherwise, just a good auto upholstery shop should be able to do it for you. Though if this is on the '06 listed in your profile, I'm surprised you have this problem already. My '99 was a good 9 years old before mine started sagging. And even then, it just sagged.

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking at auto upholstery shops, just hoping someone had a suggestion for a reputable one; don't want to have to start over again in a year or two.

Don't have the time to do it myself either, too many other balls in the air right now.

This is for the 06 too. I don't know what caused it; I got the car in April and it was bubbling in spots, then it just collapsed from the head rests back. The foam is still in place just the fabric fell; like the adhesive failed. I can't get to pull back properly.

Anyway thanks for the help and suggestions.

My '06 has the falling headliner too, the '05 started about a year ago. I'm debating what to do to fix them.

I'm getting mine replaced on Tuesday. $195 labor and material not including the sunroof, that is perfectly fine. The weather is turning nice and I'd like to open the windows and sunroof without the cloth flapping around behind me leaving orange particles everywhere. Also I can't see out the back anymore so that will be good to be able to do that again.
