Head liner coming down

[C1J1Miller at aol.com]

The problem is not that the original adhesive has failed, but rather than
the soft foam intermediate material has disintegrated. For this reason,
trying to glue it back won't work, or at least not for long.  The hard foam
insulation panels need to be removed and cleaned, and then new headliner
material (foam-backed fabric) needs to be re-installed.  The upholstery ship
I use has done this with many Audis of our vintage, and matching
after-market headliner material is readily available. It's aabout $600 job
in Manhattan Beach, CA, for the Avant ... perhaps a little less for sedan.
