A sagging or damaged car headliner is unsightly and annoying. If left unattended, it could result in further damage and eventually reduce the value of your vehicle. Fortunately, we can help you preserve your car in top condition for many years to come with a professional Vehicle and Car Headliner repair or replacement. We are equipped to manage all of your Vehicle and Car Headlining repairs with the skills of our experienced Vehicle Headlinings team.
Here at Total Trim Solutions, you can trust our experts to skilfully repair and return your Vehicle Headlinings to a pristine condition. Our family has been in the vehicle coach trimming business since 1969. Since then we’ve catered for classic and vintage vehicle upholstery, coachtrimming and headlining. And we’ve catered for modern vehicle headlining for the last 20 years. Due to this expertise we can cater for any vehicle still running today. We’ll colour match any material currently in place and if we can’t repair it, we’ll completely replace your damaged car headlining.
Regardless of make/model/year, the headlining material of your vehicle drops or sags due to delamination. The original roof lining material is made up of 3 layers: backing cloth, scrim foam and face/finish material. All foam over time breaks down, and then causes the material to delaminate. This sadly is inevitable as the material gets old, and whilst the face material appears to be fine the only option is a complete car roof upholstery replacement.
Our skilled headliner technicians at our workshops in Thatcham, Berkshire will address a variety of problems, such as:

Here’s some footage of a recent headlining replacement on a stunning Aston Martin DB7.
As you can see, there are several steps involved, from removing and scrapping off the old perished material to relining with an authentic replacement. It’s then custom fitted to produce a factory-finish result. (Takes quite a bit longer than 39 seconds to achieve too!).
We’ve put together some of the most frequently asked questions with regards to headlining replacements and repairs. Expand each question to find details of the work we carry out, potential timescales and rough pricing estimates (although these will vary depending on the vehicle!):
No. The reason the headlining has dropped is because the scrim foam on the back of the original material has delaminated from the face cloth due to age.
We always try and source as close a match to that of the original headlining material.
Yes. (If the board is a used/second hand part, worth considering it may not last as long as new material or board).
Yes, many Bentleys and Jaguars have leather headlinings, and they fail for the same reason, with the foam backing failing. We can either replicate the original with all new materials or in the case of the Bentleys, strip and remove the offending foam and re-fit.
Yes, Alcantara is available and we have a few suppliers we can source it from.
As soon as we have either the replacement materials or the board, we can look to book you in soon after their arrival. Contact us for our current estimated lead times.
Yes, we can fit classic hung headlinings and even tailor bespoke in house headlinings to fit any period of car.
The customer chose a suede effect material to replace the existing sagging car headliner. You can see the nap of the fabric, which could be seen as wrinkles or creases, but suede has that effect.
A stunning Jaguar XKRS with a leather headlining which had failed. After removing the board from the car and removing the old foam and glue, which had both contributed to its failure, we tailored an all new nappa leather headlining as per its original.
This incredible Ferrari 488 was let down by a failed headlining with a leather headlining. After removing the old sagging material we made a brand new one using faux suede to match the material on the sun visors and refitted it revitalising this absolute beauty of a car.
The owner of this VW Golf was tired of having the original headlining resting on his head as he drove and despite his best efforts with gaffa tape there was only one solution, strip and retrim.
Not all customers are as lucky as this Alfa Romeo Brera owner sadly. Hidden behind the sagging original headliner was a glass roof. Opening up the centre before re trimming gives a sky view factory option to the driver.
No matter what vehicle you have, we can cater for it. Below you’ll see a selection of car headlining replacements in vehicles ranging from Rolls Royces and VW Vans to Lamborghinis and everything in between.
We only source the best quality materials from the finest suppliers. Like this original Muirhead Lustrana Leather. Muirhead has been at the forefront of the leather industry since 1840, producing Fine Scottish Leather from hides reared through a unique blend of animal husbandry and fertile grazing, predominantly from Scotland. Lustrana is a premium leather with a bright two-tone finish and a haircell grain, suitable for many contract and domestic applications, and is very popular for use in luxury car headlinings and car upholstery.
