Head liner options 11 xk coupe

Member Tberg is the man with the correct headliner material. I just had the wifes done as a local upholstery shop. Since mines 3 years newer, I figure I have three years before mine bites the dust. Shoudnt be more than a couple hundred Plus materials. I search various posts here on how to remove the pillars as you might want to remove them yourself so nothing gets broke.

Headliners fail and fall down because the foam backing used by the factory turns to powder as it disintegrates which results in the fabric not being attached to the ceiling any longer. You will get much longer life gluing a non-foam backed suede directly to the shell. The Passion Suede product that I have provided to many forum members for their headliners does not have foam bonded to it but is thicker than the OEM Alcantara Suede so it still maintains some of the insulating qualities. With a high quality adhesive you should get lifetime durability.

I tried to order a headliner from Jag (around $600) so I could replace it myself but its backordered with no ETA. I also noticed my pillars and visors were coming loose so I just dropped it off a shop that's charging me $1300 for the full job. I shopped around and every place was quoting me something similar.

Headliner replacement for 2010 XK Coupe
Headliner replacement for 2010 XK. My experience is like others' on the Forum: getting a headliner replaced is a royal pain. This is the second time I have needed one redone after all the fabric became detached and fell down, Those failures appear to be due to our extreme heat in Southern California. My first task is to find a really competent upholstery shop in the Los Angeles area to do the job––preferably in the eastern section of the City, or Pasadena, or Orange County. A location is Riverside would be ideal; that's where I live. I have asked around here, but I haven't yet found a shop in which I would be confident. I have searched the Internet for a Jaguar OEM headliner, and the one seller who has one wants over $1000. I would even buy that except I am not sure that he has the correct color. Any more information about the availability of non-Jaguar fabric to do the job would be welcome.

More than likely, that $1,000 might just be for the headliner center piece and excludes the 8 trim pieces and 2 sun visors. What ends up is a mismatch in addition to some of the other parts that may still need to be redone. I would think that in the Cali area you would be able to find a competent shop with all the many collectible cars there. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Headliner replacement
Randy: Not sure where in Florida you are, but my 07 xkr coupe needed a headliner about 18 months ago. I took it to a local Ft Lauderdale upholstery shop, good job, no problems, reasonable price ( I don't recall the exact amount) If you're in Ft Lauderdale or near by send me a PM and I'll provide a phone #. I don't believe the forum allows posting a shops' name.

I don’t think it’s against forum rules if you have personal experience with a shop and are reporting your experience, not just advertising or bashing a place. We’d all like to know reputable places to take our business.
Something like a good headliner replacement shop report would probably be also helpful in the regional section, as the service would be of use to others besides X150 owners in that area.

Headliner failure
I had two 07's an XK and an XKR. Both suffered headliner collapse with 8 weeks. I used: Auto Upholstery by Howard in Ft Lauderdale.(954-761-8375) Not a fancy shop. My headliners came out of his catalogue of materials and colors. Close enough match to negate need for sunshade recovering. Close enough to match the windshield pillars. Price moderate. If you're a prefectionist and only OEM is good enough, probably not your choice. But a reasonable product at a reasonable price done in a day.

The liner in my 2013 XK came down so I looked for a shop in the area. Found one in Mission Viejo, CA. The shop did a nice job for lot less than what I see as the dealer cost. I paid $700.00. They removed and put back all the trim. Cannot tell that it was removed.
If you are willing to drive down and leave the car for 2 days with the shop, give them a call and set up an appointment. They were pretty busy when I took it in, so it took 2 days.
