What to Do When the Car Interior Headliner Fabric Detaches?
2 Answers
Car interior headliner fabric detaching can be resolved by: 1. Cleaning the detached area thoroughly; 2. Applying polyurethane adhesive evenly on the detached part; 3. Pressing the detached headliner fabric back into place and letting it dry. Types of car headliner fabrics include: 1. PVC artificial leather; 2. Non-woven fabric; 3. Knitted fabric. The car headliner fabric is an important component of the vehicle's roof, enhancing 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.
If the car's headliner fabric falls off, I personally think trying a specialized automotive interior adhesive is a good solution. First, clean the detached area thoroughly, removing dust and old glue residue—you can use a dry cloth or a small brush to gently sweep it. Then, spray a strong adhesive spray, like products from the 3M brand, ensuring an even application but not too thick. Quickly press the fabric back into place and hold it firmly with your hands for a few minutes to ensure a secure bond. Wait for the glue to dry completely before driving. This method is low-cost, costing just a few dozen yuan, and the DIY process is quick, usually taking about half an hour. However, remember this is only suitable for small areas of detachment. If the headliner is severely aged or has large areas of fabric falling off, professional repair is safer. I also like to use clips to temporarily secure the fabric overnight after applying the glue to reinforce the bond. When parking, try to avoid direct sunlight, as high temperatures can cause the adhesive to fail.
