I contacted Nachos Auto Upholstery in Van Nuys. The quote was $450 to do the job. Sounds fair, but I'm not sure about the finished product when doing it "in place"

 

You guys jinxed me, lol. I posted a bit ago "oh joy another thing to worry about", well noticed the front edge by windshield was coming loose. Bought some upholstery spray adhesive and fixed it. Got a head start on not having it all come down. Wait a minute, wtf is that through the rear window? Oh! It's coming loose there too. Take that (as I spray it back in place).

Ok, so when does it sag in the center? Smh!

 

I just found an upholstery shop in Fresno, CA. - I asked him two questions. 1) Have you ever done a headliner on a Jag X-Type and his answer was "Yes."

2) I then asked him "what is your procedure" just waiting to hear him say back window removal. He surprised me and gave the right answer I wanted to hear - "He said "we take out the front passenger seat, and bring it out the back passenger door." I knew right then he was telling the truth and he was the guy. Will do it for $500 (non sun roof model). I will be taking it to him in the next couple months after I have some dental work done which is eating up my current cash.

Dell - with mine, once it started (the first bubble) it basically just cascades from there. Mine went from looking perfect to drooping everywhere in just about a month...and to boot I keep mine garaged BUT it still feels the summer Ca. heat no matter where you keep it.

peace out,

Yeah, I think the 100° days of summer here in Utah with it being under a carport still cooks the car way up higher than that inside.

 

 

Weird cuz I've talked to Nacho in person, twice, and $250 was the price.

I'm adding insulation and sound dampening when i do it so will take it elsewhere.

 

In the process of doing this right now.Car would not pass Virginia inspection because third brake light not working. Dropped the rear headliner section to check connection and the headliner came apart. Decided to go ahead and replace it. Pulled headliner out myself and took it to a shop near me and for like 200$ they gave me a new headliner and looks great.

Not that hard a job so far but it is involved!

 

I'd love to see some photos of this and, also if possible, a step by step guide to how you achieved all this (I know, it is all done and too late for that....)

 

Yorta2,

I basically followed the directions from the first post on this thread. I have not been able to complete the reinstall because of rain here but will post some shots when I do.
Also recommend covering the interior of car with tarp to make clean up easier. I am dealing with a lot of fiberglass fibers and having to clean car with vacuum and leather cleaner. Anyone know of something else to help get the fibers off please advise.

Looking forward to installing new headliner very soon.

 

 

You sir are a SAINT! The stress would have done me in!
