Headliners

Oh those drooping headliners!
Headliners...That thing on the roof of your car. It is part of your car's interior trim, finishing the roof panel and providing heat and noise insulation. Most current model cars have a headliner consisting of a molded cardboard-like board with a foam backed nylon material laminated to it.

Why Headliners Fail
With age, the foam rubber backing on the material begins to deteriorate and eventually crumbles. The nylon then bubbles and finally falls. Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) headliners typically begin to fail in 8 to 10 years. When this happens, you may notice other interior pieces such as sun visors, rear quarter (sail) panels, post pieces by the windshield begin to wrinkle, too. These parts are typically covered in the same material and experience the same problem.

Solution:
The craftsmen at Doc's Upholstery are experts at removing and replacing car interiors. We meticulously remove the effected parts, clean off all rotten foam, and reapply new headliner fabric. We are careful to use materials that match your car's original interior with new foam backing in order to give you the OEM look and maximum life expectancy you would expect from a new headliner.
