Interior and Upholstery headliner install cost at shop?

[dqureshi06]

anyone who has given a shop their headliner and have had them install it for them? how much did it cost? my headliner came loose while installing weatherstripping and has beena pain to get back on. Ive watched videos on how to do it and have decided Id rather let a shop do it.

mind you the headliner is new as the previous owner explicitly told me, it has just come loose and maybe I will have a shop recover the existing one.

This depends on whether you have a moon roof and if it's necessary to do much work to repair the existing one, or to replace it. But the labor if it was all straight forward, I'd guess it might be 2 hours? Just a guess. I've pulled and reinstalled mine just to save the paintless dent repair labor it would have taken. There's not much to it.

Yeah, they are fairly simple to install. Watch a few more videos to see how it’s done, I’m sure you could do it.

Interior and Upholstery Thread 'Headliner adheasive'

Jul 16, 2025

Before I spend bigger money on a new shell and all that, I want to try put new fabric on my existing shell. Any tips on the process are appreciated if you have the time to respond or share other relevant threads.

My first question is;

Is one 18oz can of 3m headliner adhesive enough to do the job?

Thanks John
