Headlining 2005 C5 Hatchback

[Monamee]

Have partial headlining sagging. Thinking to attempt a re-glue in situ although there is advice that this won't work and you have to completely remove the headliner and redo. Has anyone does this? Does the C5 have a headlining board (shell) that the material adheres to? How difficult is it to remove?
All input appreciated.

Hi
The headlining board comes out in one piece. If I remember correctly remove sun visors and clips, the centre roof curtesy lights housing cover, all 4 door aperture weather seal strips, A, B and C pillar covers, sun roof weather seal if present. Its quite easy not a lot tools required and very little swearing needed.
Cheers

Easy to do a headlining removal and install. Torx screws for the survivors and grab handles. We did 2 x C5s and had the A pillars done with same fabric to match.
$200 to recover each.

If this is a C5 S1 test the antenna and rear screen washer for any leaks while the headlining is removed otherwise your new headlining may looked stained after the 1st rainfall

Thanks for the information. This will be my fallback I am going to try a technique of spraying 3M glue into droop area using a hypodermic needle. If it fails good to know plan B is doable. Regards
