    Hi, Have an A4 headliner that started to sag last week. it has fully detached from the foam seems the Glue began to fail.
    The car is an A4 03 Saloon no sunroof.

    Would like to get it sorted was wondering whats involved?

    1. Removing the headliner - Can it be taken out of Passenger door or has it to be taken out throgh the boot?
    2. To fix the headliner, Will i be able to remove the glue off the foam apply fresh glue to foam and existing roof cloth.

    I'd say it has to be via the boot, even then it may not be fit between the folding seats. On the production line these are usually inserted via the front window before the glass is inserted.

    Maybe consider getting one from a breaker where you can remove from it the donar car yourself before you remove yours. This way if you will figure out how to do it, and if you wreck the one in the donar car you can just walk away.

    I have glued headliners in place with varying degrees of success, never 100% though
    Taking the whole ceiling out is best option for sure.

    thanks, thats actually good advice better to try on a car in the breakers yard first. It seems like its going to have to come out the boot now grr :). Thank you

    Hi Biko,

    Do you mind me asking how you managed to get the glue between the foam and cloth, was it via the cab lights? Doesnt need to be a perfect job, Just want to keep it off my head while im driving :)
