saggy headliner
I have an extremely saggy headliner, not just a samll spot, most of it. What to do? I looked into pulling it but that is way to much work, any thoughts? tanks.

How about an elaborate system of supporting columns, in the style of the Ancient Greeks? It could be like the Parthenon in there!
In truth, I think you have to replace it. It's been done by people on this forum. Try a search, or hope somebody chimes in with a link to the thread. I know it's out there.

You have to replace it. I took my headliner out and spent hours scrubbing the old foam/glue from the board before finally deciding to get a used one from another bmw. I actually picked up a headliner of the same color from a 535i for $100 today with all the handles and lights and sunroof switch section.

I have thisidea, probably doesnt work. If there is glue between the headliner and and roof; could you take a hair dryer and heat the glue up through the headliner and reapply in sections? I might be way out there let me know if anyone thinks its possible.

unfortunately it isnt the glue that failed but the foam thats part of the headliner material. The **** dries out and seperates. There is no cure but to pull and reupholster that and all the other parts so it matches. Mine recently failed from my detailer doing something he shouldnt have and now my car suffers the same grim situation.
I am going to try to staple the thing back to the board.
damn thats hi-tech! looks like **** but no more flappies!

WLS headliner material is too thick. It will cause your sunroof to break. You nee 1/8'', not 1/4'' material. Around my area, the cheapest new headliner was $475
