How much does it cost to fix a car headliner?
I bought an older car, and the headliner is starting to sag a bit. How much does it cost to repair the interior roof of a car?

Depending on your vehicle make, it can cost anywhere from $100 to almost $500 to replace a car headliner. Fixing the headliner on a four-door sedan could cost as little as $100, while an SUV or minivan costs around $200-$400.
Although replacing a headliner looks simple, it’s not as simple as it looks. A sagging headliner not only looks ugly, but there’s no way to temporarily repair it—you’ll need to have it fixed. If your headliner has heavy wear and tear, changing the upholstery could cost you thousands of dollars.
The cost to replace a headliner depends largely on where you live, your vehicle’s make and model, and what company you choose to use.
The price ranges are based on the car, but here are some estimates to point you in the right direction:
- Mini Cooper: $495
- Honda Civic: $195
- Honda Accord: $425
- Jeep Cherokee: $470
- VW Jetta: $370
- Chevrolet Silverado: $370
Older vehicles may have “hung” headliners—they’re suspended by rods, so the material is stitched tightly to the headliner. Fixing it means removing the front and back windshields and removing weatherstripping along the windows. The result? High repair costs.
Alternatively, if you’re looking to save money, you can also purchase a headliner repair kit and headliner adhesive from an auto parts store or online retailer, which will run you about $50.
