I just noticed that the headliner in my 97 Nissan pickup is starting to
separate from the backing.
It is just above the driver's door and is a 'bubble' of about 20 square
inches. . I think it is because I leave the driver's door open during
the night and dampness has loosened the glue between the cloth and
backing. I have vent visors on the windows, so it isn't direct rain
water that caused it.
Any ideas on replacing the headliner, or perhaps repairing what I have.
I haven't checked with Nissan yet, but they are only required to keep
replacement parts for 10 years (here in the US), after which they
usually wholesale the parts out to other retailers.

any auto upholsterer can do it and it's
really not that expensive . i had the headliner
replaced in an suv a few years ago

to $250.00 .

Thanks. I thought I would take a shot at it myself. I had replaced a
couple of sedan headliners (and two convertible tops) in my youth, but
those were the cloth type with enclosed spring rods from side-to-side
across the roof.

Search online for replacement headliner kits and installation
instructions. You can save most of what an upholsterer would charge you
and do a better job.

Here are a couple examples:

I've no connection to either of them. I'm just looking to repair my old
Sentra.
