How many have been effected by headliner sagging?
jacksosi:
Ours has now gone, too big a job for me to want to tackle, so £500 seems the going rate to get it done for me, but the car will also be gone two days and its not a local upholsterer.
However, I have stumbled upon this (overpriced) solution at £170 for both parts, but a much quicker fix and DIY'able, has anyone tried this?

My car has got the front one fitted (put on by a previous owner). I didnt know until someone pointed it out to me after 4 years of owning the car.
However recently the rear has gone around the interior light and I have reluctantly bought the part you have linked but not fitted yet. Agree the price is a joke, I was even wondering if someone could 3d print one and then return the original to Amazon lol.
But yeah as I said the front one seemed to work on mine for at least 4 years.

Ok that’s good to know cheers
If you would kindly hurry up and fit the rear one and take photos that would be great

Looks like I've beaten @Jons1001 to it :P
Overall quite easy to do...it would have probably only taken me an hour to do both BUT I couldn't get the sunglasses holder back in no matter how long I tried. Eventually I ended up breaking the tabs, but resolved that by adding in a couple of screws.
I think it looks good, and although expensive at £170 for two bits of plastic :surprised:, it's still better than having to fork out £500+ for a retrim :drinking:
Jons1001:
Haha well played sir, looking good!
How easy was the rear?
