Headliner Replacement - MK5 Golf GTI
« on: July 09, 2025, 12:47:14 pm »
Hey folks, has anyone had their headliner replaced recently (MK5 Golf GTI) due to the common sagging issue? Would really appreciate any tips or recommendations for decent upholstery trimmers in the Sussex area. Cheers!

I've replaced mine a couple of years back with a good one from a breakers yard. Its also now sagging so recently had the original board recovered by a local guy.
Currently waiting to fit it, the material is slightly lighter but a good match  :smiley:
Hopefully this will last longer :smiley:

How much did that end up costing you?

Hi, I received varying quotes ranging from £400 for an exchange and fitting, to around £550–£650 for a full retrim of existing headliner. Since mine has a sunroof, it might be slightly more expensive. There was also a DIY option available at £200, which includes supply replacement (returning your old existing headliner) and fit it yourself. It’s on my to do list to finalise which option to run with. Hope that helps.
