Torn fabric headliner by rear windshield, possible self repair?

sidekick96 · 04-19-2010, 10:51 AM

Hey Ya'll

Yesterday i was cleaning the interior of my car and while i was wiping the back windshield i noticed the fabric headliner along the top corner has two 1" tears. I imagine it happened when i got my car tinted a couple of months ago because i've never touched the area. Is there a way that i can repair the tear or maybe seal it up? I don't want the tear to get bigger..

Thanks!

I'll post some pictures later today to help assess the situation.

Wont look perfect, but theres always spray adhesive if you want to just stick it back together.

Yea i have some 3m Hi-Tack 76 adhesive spray enroute, its really nothing serious but its just these little things that bother me. Do you think its a good idea that i use painters tape to cover the area exposed so when i use the spray it wont get all over the place. i just hope it doesnt seep through and end up sticking the tape onto the headliner.
