I've got a saggy headliner in my 2004 crossfire. Can it be fixed or do I need a new liner. Any idea of cost? Is it a diy project or do I need a body shop?

 

Welcome to the club.. LOL.. been several post about this problem. The only "real" solution is to replace the fabric yourself or have it done. It's tricky getting the panel out.. but there is information here on it too.


Here's you a start.. the search feature will bring up more if you want to really dig into DIY.. glues etc.

It will probably cost around $250 to have a shop remove, clean headliner board, recover, and reinstall .

You can DIY for about $40 in materials (2 yards fabric, 1 can high temp headliner adhesive, including shipping). Here's an example:

Flat Knit Headliner

If you are trying to replicate the OEM fabric, go with the 1/8" foam backed "flat knit" material. The titanium color most closely matched the original for my Crossfire.

There are plenty of good tutorials online for DIY headliner recovering. The Crossfire can be a little tricky due to the sharp curvature at the edges of the board. When I did mine I made the mistake of not trimming the fabric close enough to the size of the headliner board (I only cut it for length but left the width of the roll) before applying the adhesive which can help make it easier to get the material to conform to the board. Also, you need to be careful to let adhesive get tacky enough so that it won't soak through the foam. My effort didn't come out too bad, but I plan to redo when I get a chance havinbg learned from my first attempt.

 

Well, its happened to mine. Drivers side today bounced off my head. I look up thinking 'what was that' and just about the whole drivers side down. My 'fix' of the moment, lower the seat! Seriously, time to look into replacing/re-covering the top. Right now if I touch it, it'll get real messy real quick. Its about time for my car to act up, glad its something like this (instead of the electronics). (shhhhhhhhh)

 

Now is a good time to add a custom touch to the interior. I always thought that a grey animal skin print or lizard/ snake print would be neat. Go wild.
