The solution for a detached car roof lining is: 1. Clean the detached part of the roof lining thoroughly; 2. Apply polyurethane adhesive evenly on the detached part; 3. Press the detached roof lining back into place and let it dry. Types of car roof linings: 1. PVC artificial leather; 2. Non-woven fabric; 3. Knitted fabric. The car roof lining is an important component of the vehicle's ceiling, serving to enhance the interior decoration. It improves insulation from external heat, reduces interior noise, enhances sound absorption, and increases the comfort and safety of the driver and passengers.

Last time when my car's headliner completely sagged, I first used a vacuum cleaner to remove the yellowed old adhesive. I bought specialized automotive headliner glue online, which is heat-resistant and won't damage the fabric. I applied the glue very carefully, pressing and securing it section by section, working diligently in the garage for three hours. Remember to smooth out the fabric before gluing, and use weights to press down the corners overnight for better adhesion. It's been two years now with no edges lifting. The DIY cost me less than 100 yuan, saving over 800 compared to dealership service. Try to avoid parking in direct sunlight to significantly extend the headliner's lifespan. Before starting, it's best to remove the sun visors for more working space.

Our auto repair shop typically addresses headliner issues in three steps: first, remove the interior trim panels to inspect the extent of detachment. Small areas can be repaired with spray adhesive, while larger sections require complete replacement. For fabric selection, suede with adhesive backing is the most durable option, whereas regular velvet tends to re-detach easily in summer. Professional tools handle clips without leaving marks, unlike DIY repairs which often cause dents in the headliner. Important reminder: avoid using super glue or foam adhesive as they corrode the sponge layer and worsen the problem. If sunroof drain tube leakage causes detachment, the moisture barrier must be addressed simultaneously. Full replacement generally costs between 800-1500 RMB, depending on vehicle model and material.

Don't forcefully pull the sagging ceiling of an old car! I temporarily fixed it with magnetic snaps, or you can buy car ceiling repair nails online. For a permanent solution, it's recommended to remove the old fabric layer, sand the original baseboard, spray a layer of primer, and then attach new fabric. Remember to wear a mask if you're doing it yourself, as inhaling too much old adhesive dust can cause coughing. Choose light-colored fabric as it doesn't show dirt easily, while dark colors absorb more heat in summer and are more prone to peeling. Once, I tried to iron it flat with a household iron, but ended up melting a hole in the synthetic fabric—professional tasks should be left to the experts. For daily maintenance, avoid scratching the ceiling with branches and keep the high-pressure water jet at a distance when washing the car.

For women dealing with car roof linings, professional shops are the best choice. Doing it yourself often results in glue-covered hands and uneven adhesion. Last month, I went for a renovation, and the technician said peeling is mostly caused by aging glue or air conditioning leaks. For the repair, I chose waterproof faux suede, which costs 200 more than the original velour but has a better texture. The key is to check the edge finishing—shoddy shops leave frayed edges exposed. Avoid opening the sunroof for three weeks after repair, as the glue may not be fully dry and could come apart. Now, I always use a sunshade when parking, as UV rays are the roof lining's worst enemy. It's recommended to gently clean it annually with interior cleaner and avoid hard brushes that can damage the fabric.
