How to Deal with a Dropped Car Roof Lining?
2 Answers
If the car roof lining has fallen down, you should purchase a bottle of specialized automotive adhesive or bonding product, then spray the adhesive along the edges and reattach it. Below is some relevant information about car roof linings: 1. Introduction: The car roof lining is an important component of the car interior, serving functions such as decoration, sound absorption, and heat insulation. In an era increasingly focused on high performance, environmental friendliness, and lightweight design, the car interior roof lining has become a significant factor in vehicle selection, leading to higher demands on car interior components. 2. Car Roof Lining Fabric: Textiles account for more than 50% of the materials used in car roof linings. Automotive textiles mainly include woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics, and fiber composites, with knitted and woven fabrics being the two main categories.
Last time when my car's headliner fell down, I fixed it myself. First, I thoroughly cleaned off the dust and old glue residue from the roof and liner, wiping them dry with a cloth. Then I used automotive interior spray adhesive (easily available on Taobao), applying it evenly on both the metal roof surface and the headliner fabric. After patiently waiting about a minute for the adhesive to become tacky, I carefully pressed the fabric back into position and secured it with heavy books or sponges for several minutes. The whole process took about half an hour with good results - the headliner hasn't come loose since. Important note: don't use regular glue as it may fail to adhere properly or damage materials. After completion, avoid opening windows or high-speed driving for 24 hours to let the adhesive cure completely. If the headliner is extensively torn, severely aged, or if you lack DIY confidence, it's better to have it professionally replaced at an auto shop for long-term safety. For prevention, try parking in shaded areas to minimize sun exposure that accelerates adhesive aging.
