tberg, it looks like I found my next project... My headliner has started to detach... Do you have a color match for warm charcoal? PM sent

I just sent you a pm in response. Black is the closest and almost identical to the Alcantara that's oem from the factory. I am sending you a sample today.

I did this last year to replace the leather that pulled up on center of dash.. I coated it with a 303 fabric type protectant.. so far so good.. but I keep it in the garage and always use a sun shade when parked.

I also did the headliner and pillars in the perforated material (same color).

That looks awesome. Makes the car look much more classy and sporty. Great job.

In very little time and with some heat - the foam deteriorates, material breaks loose and you have a sagging headliner.

The shop that fixed mine, removed it, stripped the foam layer, put new adhesive on the leather directly to headliner board. Warranties it for long as I own it. Looks like new.

So... whether you choose leather or suede, be aware of this issue, and let your installer know.
I am in Texas and my 2013 XKR-S headliner has also started to sag. Who replaced yours? I am in Houston. Are you saying they were able to reuse your original leather headliner. I am hoping to since it is in excellent condition

I have moved out of state but Coleman’s does really good work it looks like it is going to fall down but they did good work on my dashboard and my son’s headliner and leather seats. They are on N Shepherd and 20th something near 610 loop
