Title: Headliner Repair Trim Piece
Post by: Jons1001 on August 29, 2025, 12:06:09 pm: My headliner is sagging around the rear interior light. I found these online but nowhere seems to have stock anymore. Also messaged the manufacturer but no response.

Does anyone know where i might be able to get hold of one? The price of £70 is a joke though for a bit of plastic, would be great if we could get hold of the specs so we could 3d print them!

Thanks

It fairly cured the sagging though.

Thanks mate but I need the black rear one and it’s out of stock, has been for a long while. Suppose worst case I could buy the grey one and do something with it to make it black.

Cheers

I’ll take a pic and post it up tomorrow. That said, a matt black plastic rattle can would definitely tidy it up better over the plastic undercoat on the trim, but that’s another £20 gone. These cars are never-ending when it comes to pound notes!

Thanks for posting a pic. Just to double check that is they grey CASPORT one? Looks quite a bit darker than on the website.

Cheers, i did look at using her a couple of months ago but it's more than i want to spend and Wales is a bit far for me (Wouldn't fancy fitting it myself).

My car had the headliner trim 'saver' fitted around the sunglasses holder when i bought it 5 years ago and has held up well until recently so hoping this might give a couple of years...
