Slick Headliner Replacement

If the headliner on your targa top is sagging like mine was, you might want to consider this DIY piece from EBay. Self stick and fits/looks great. Took me 30 mins.

Wish I had seen this on ebay. I redid mine in black leather with new insulation underneath. Looks good , but it was a bear and the edges aren't as nice as this. But I like it better than the hanging cloth one!

How does it attach? I had something very similar looking in my C4. Any hot day I parked outside I'd find it laying across the seats when I came back, never did find a way to hold it up in heat

It has a self-stick closed-cell foam backing laminated to the headliner material. Just position it, peel off the paper backing and stick in place. Then tuck the perimeter under the edge of the roof frame.

The car is covered and tucked away right now. Not getting it out again for a few weeks. The pics on EBay show it accurately.

How did you remove the old liner, cut it out?
Just picked up a C5 with said issue.

Just cut & pull. It comes out easily. Clean up the surface and the replacement fits right in. It’s self-stick. No need to spend $15 on spray adhesive. Easy to do and looks real nice! Good luck.
