Ceiling fabric sagging...Help !!

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

The fabric on the on the ceiling in my BMW 323i has sagged for some reason. The car is a fresh import. 1997 year. The cheapest quote i have got to have this fixed is $400 + gst. I am in the Wellington region. Can anyone suggest the best place to have this fixed for a good price.

I have only had the car for 7 months. Advice will be appreciated.

Cheers.

Sounds terrible, but using a staple gun wisely can save you some money

do it yourself, theres a write up in the tutorials just dont use the glue stated as its not heat resistant, use kwik grip instead, wish someone would change that.

That's a pretty high price. There are some people on here who have done it for less. I think $300 GST included would be about right, and you should be able to get it done for less.

I did mine myself but would not try again, just not worth my effort. Get an expert to do it right, worth the $. For what it's worth, the glue is still holding up and it's been almost 3 years. The glue I used was 3M Hi-Strength 90 spray adhesive, it cost me around $27 per can at the time. To do the headliner, I believe I used 2-3 cans.

People have tried using 3M 77 spray adhesive, that one does not hold for long.

If you are a fan of the black M-Tech/M3 headlining and pillars, use this opportunity to do so.

I am against the staple gun method, it will show... just not my thing.
