2 Answers
Solutions for car interior fabric detachment are as follows: 1. Visit a 4S shop for replacement or partial treatment: 4S shops have specialized materials that can remove and treat the interior fabric to restore its original shape. 2. Syringe treatment method, using special glue for car roof repair: You can choose special car glue for repair, which will not easily come off again after adhesion, and avoid exposure to sunlight after repair. 3. Choose hot melt adhesive film for repair: Hot melt adhesive is formed by melt spinning and can quickly bond after high-temperature ironing. Interior fabric adhered with hot melt adhesive film is not easy to fall off.
The fabric inside my car came loose, and I didn't know how to fix it at first. Later, I asked a friend and tried to repair it myself. The cause is usually due to aging glue or exposure to sunlight. First, go to the supermarket and buy a special automotive interior adhesive—something like a strong adhesive will work. Park the car in a sheltered area, and use a clean cloth to remove any residual glue and dust from the loose area. Avoid using water; alcohol is the best option. After it dries completely, apply the new glue, gently smooth out the fabric, and press it firmly with a heavy object for 24 hours. Remember to press it firmly in one go, or else wrinkles or bubbles may form. After I did it myself, the result was decent, saving me two or three hundred bucks in repair costs. However, be careful during the process to avoid getting glue on the surrounding interior. When parking, use a sunshade more often to prevent high temperatures from damaging the glue. It's not a difficult task—just a bit of patience will get it done.
