Ah, but you missed my point - the aircraft certified headliner is 1/5th the
price of the MB headliner for a car that is 40 years newer than my aircraft!

The headliner in my '95 sedan is sagging. New from Classic Center with
MBCA discount is over $1000.
I'd like to know if anyone else has successfully repaired / re-glued a 124
headliner.
I'm also open to trying other options, like removing the old headliner
entirely, and installing some dynamat

Is it just fabric with the bows, or is it glued to a substrate of some sort?
Later models had like a fiberglass panel that the fabric was glued to. Those
are easy to do, as you just get it out of the car, remove the old fabric and
glue new fabric on, then reinstall.

But you had better use the proper glue.
You can guess how I know that.

Another reason I think pre-1990 MB are better.

I'm sure that there is a more appropriate place to buy auto headliner
supplies, but this is the one I know about -

IIRC, the issue with old MB headliners was it shrinking and pulling out of
the rear window molding. I'd glue it up
I think that all but one of my 107, 115, 123, 124, and 126 cars did have
the headliner falling down in front of the rear window. However, I never
did anything about it.

JoAnn Fabrics sells the fabric and the spray adhesive for it. Expensive stuff
($20/can) but is application specific and is highly regarded as the stuff to
do it with.
The fabric isn't that expensive, maybe $15/yard.

Dan,
The fabric is glued to a foam/fiber substrate piece, and almost all of that
glue has let go. The fabric is really only held up around the edges now.
I'm tempted to get some plastic fasteners of some kind to rivet/staple the
thing back into place.
I'm sure from an assembly standpoint, the
I have the same issue with the G. Here in LA there are headliner repair
guys. Some people recover the backing with suede and reinstall. Some camie
313 or any high tack spray upholstery adhesive on both surfaces, wait a few
seconds until it tacks up to touch, then smooth it down, spray another

I saw some headliner re-attachment thingies at NAPA yesterday - they are
little barbed tacks that you stick up into the foam substrate and holds the
fabric up. I think they wanted them spaced every two inches or so. Yes,
they will look tacky, as they only come in one color and it's not likely to
Thanks Don, may not be an elegant solution but effective and frugal. I

JoAnn Fabric has replacement fabric, it's the same stuff used by GM
and Jeep, both of which have falling headliner issues.
Remove the backing and bad headliner, scrape all the crap off, fit new
fabric, and glue it on with 3M spray adhesive, just like putting a new
foam pad in the engine
