Headliner Repair

[Fried_Chicken]

How much would you spend for a Headliner repair?

I got a quote of around $275 for the removal, sanding, and repair of my ZHP headliner (no sunroof, sedan).

I got another quote for $500 to have it done in suede, including the A and B pillars.

Are these reasonable prices? Is there anyone in the East Texas/Houston area that is especially good and deserving of recommendation?

Honestly $275 is great for all the labor that is involved in that job. I'd pay that in a heartbeat.

I have a quote for $500 to replace the headliner on my ZHP. The shop won't use alcantara, just regular fabric that is a good color match. My car has sunroof, they will replace that section as wel.

The man does quality work, I took my Mini Cooper some years ago for headliner replacement and was very happy with the results.

I had my sedan headliner covered in “alcantara like” headliner fabric for $200 including the fabric. but i did remove the headliner myself and take it to them.

I'm in NC and have an appointment to have my headliner with sunroof, A, B, and C pillars done in a few weeks all in Black Alcantara for $500 plus tax. So your quote sounds about right. A few other places quoted me closer or greater than $600

For just the headliner he wanted ~$250

I got the headliner done, along with the A and B pillars. Cost $500 otd, including gluing some outside trim and re-fastening the front seat backs.
Overall happy with the results, although I wish I'd gotten real suede/alcantara (which I believe he originally quoted me for).

I ended up going with the standard headliner material (which according to the shop is what new BMWs use). It's nice, just needs airing out in the garage to get rid of the smell.

As a little update to this thread for those researching...

I'm going to order what seems to be the e46 agreed-upon match to the factory material for my headliner and pillars.

BM134 for headliner
BM3109 for pillars

Veterans Company in Cali has it.

I'm going to order it and then have it professionally installed. The quotes I have are $700 to replace the headliner and piilars but that included using their material. I'll report back with total costs once sorted

Good to know, I know I'll need to do it eventually for my car

Is BM3109 back in stock? Last i heard from VeteranCo was that it was permanently NLA.

Do people not just "reglue" the original alcantara? My headliner is still solid, but the alcantara on the A and C pillars is finally peeling off. There was a thread that talked about using a product called "tear mender" to reglue the fabric. That was the path I was going to go, since the material seems to still be good, it just "delaminated".
