    Headliner sag solutions??

    I discovered today that I now have some epic headliner sag and C pillar sag, I'm OCD about that so it's driving me nuts. What have you all done to fix this?

    remove the headliner replace fabric (but might could glue down old fabric)either way it will be time consuming you can get the exact fabric with foam backing (but will have to hunt the internet ) i found it to redo mine cost was like 35.00 a yard i think ( it has been a while since i did mine) but the oem anthricate fabric is important(so to match pillars and sunvisors) as far as the pillars you are just better off buying from tisher bmw they have them at a reasonable price
    the glue i used was v&s 1081 trim spray

    I can't say I've ever heard of an E46 with sagging headliner... until now. Weird...
    How much does a new one cost? Perhaps it'd be worth getting one new?

    Wouldn't it better to take to a professional like a auto upholstery?

    I'm in the same boat (well, car), with serious sagging around C pillars.

    Do tell us how you end up fixing it.

    Will do. Update, new headliner costs 800$ which is nuts so looking at other options.

    I'm thinking sharp razor blade to make an opening.

    Spray glue.

    Push back up.

    I think the spray glue will bleed thru if you aren't VERY careful. It'll need to dry to tacky before you push the fabric onto it.
