Headliner

Problem: Next to rotten seat covers, a nasty, falling-down headliner, or no headliner at all, is the worst thing about a car with a ragged interior. Considering that the wagon’s headliner is more than twice the size of a sedan’s, we were surprised that ours hadn’t fallen down.

Solution: Replacement headliners for most cars with fabric-and-bow headliners can be purchased either from upholstery specialists or restoration companies, but they require professional installation.

What We Did: We decided that the wagon’s headliner is presentable enough to leave alone for the time being, as replacing it is a pretty sizable task.
