2 Answers
The repair method for the falling headliner cloth of Excelle is to purchase a bottle of special automotive adhesive or glue product, spray the glue along the edge after disassembling, let it dry for 3-5 minutes, and then bond it. The following is the relevant information about the Buick Excelle: 1. Introduction: The Buick Excelle is based on General Motors' global platform. On April 21, 2003, SAIC-GM's new mid-size car, known as the "Mid-Buick" Excelle, was launched. SAIC-GM officially entered the highly potential mid-size car market by launching the "Buick Excelle" based on a new product platform. 2. Original Model: It is the latest globally developed mid-size sedan by General Motors, designed and developed under the leadership of GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Company.
I've been driving for over a decade and have personally encountered the issue of the Buick Excelle's headliner fabric detaching. High summer temperatures most easily trigger such problems because the sponge in older car headliners deteriorates, causing the adhesive to fail and the fabric to loosen and sag. For a DIY repair, preparing some 3M specialized interior spray adhesive works best. When operating, fully open the car doors for ventilation, thoroughly clean the dust inside the headliner first, then use a small roller to evenly spray the adhesive on the metal roof surface. Smooth and press the fabric firmly, focusing on pressing the edge seams for a few extra minutes. It's best to place heavy objects to hold it overnight for the adhesive to fully cure. The whole process takes about two hours to complete, with material costs under fifty bucks, saving quite a bit compared to going to a repair shop. Parking in the shade whenever possible can extend the headliner's lifespan.
