The freaking upholstery on my roof is starting to fall

Usually the problem is not with the glue. I had this problem with my XJS years ago and what usually happens is the foam back dries out from heat. The back of most headliners is a thin foam coat on the material. Over the years the heat and humidity and cold dry this out and it turns to dust. When you pull the liner down you will see the inside of the roof will still have the glue but the foam will be dust. I went to a interior shop and they stripped out the old liner and installed a new one. It was not OEM but looked great and new. It was a suede material.

Maybe not perfectly pretty but, less than $4 and I fixed my headliner. Woulda been better if I didn't have a beer in the other hand. ![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
These are described in other threads, I picked mine up at Joann Fabrics, found em at Amazon too.
Clear plastic head, little screw attached to that, "drills" into the backing perfectly, snugs it up nicely.

This car is for my 16 yr old kid, it's got 126k miles on it, not sure if it'll last another week, month or year.
I've got bigger things to worry about than headliners.
And btw, I also drive a Toyota Tacoma, got a problem with that too?

We got about 6 years out of the headliner of my wife's 2003 XK8. Paid $700.00 at an upholstery shop, to have it replaced. The guy did an excellent job of matching the material. I was very surprised that the headliner went so soon, since the headliner on my 2001 Lexus is still pristine. Upholsterer told us that he has seen a lot of Jags with this problem.
