My headliner is starting to hang in my car, how much should I expect to pay to get it fixed?

1 Answer

Answer :

several years ago it was about $35 at a place around here that specialized in that kind of work. probably much more at a dealership. I know of people who have done the work themselves, but you need a garage and access to industrial strength adhesives. Personally, unless your car is a showpiece or not yet paid off I’d just take it down and be done with it.
