After advise on repairing/replacing Head Liner on my just purchased 2015 VF Calais. Headliner is starting to sag. Have noticed on other threads that they start to sag around the 8 to 10 year mark. I'm in Sydney. Any advice much appreciated. thanks

Very common problem. My advice would be to get it professionally replaced. I recently had this done on my wife's VS Clubsport and the result was excellent. Other forum members have managed to replace the headlining themselves do that is another option for you.

The material delaminates from the board, you can't fix it. Replacing the material on the roof lining board is the fix.

He’s stopped doing normal cars now so I can‘t recommend him, but our mechanic did the lining in our VS along with the yearly rego check & service a few years back … I suspect you could get a lot of places to do it, do you have a regular mechanic to ask?
