Does anyone know a cheap fix for sagging headliner. I was thinking of making a small incision and trying a spray glue , like the one used on carpets etc . Would this work
 
No it won't.
There's a bloke down in Zummerzet what does a same-day swap out for a new re-covered one.
Or, take it out and recover it, there's a guide on here in the Rangie Tech Section.
 
The reason the headliner has dropped is because the backing foam has deteriorated and come away. If you try to glue it back up it will look horrendous. Needs a new headliner fitted.
 
I need to get mine sorted as soon as it's running

Anyone know why land rover do it differently to everyone else? Never seen any other car suffer

Mine is beginning to sag as well .
Who's the geezer in zummerzet ?
Is the geezer in shenly ( advert on the bay ) any good ?
Better still , any one on here doing this ?

No chance of doing this myself . I don't have the patience or carefulness to do the job properly .

Blackbrook autotrim is the guy. Don't know if he is still trading.
 
I’ve used all sorts of spray glues to stick it back up. Lasts few months then goes again, foam never seems to go just keeps making more every time I clean it out. It does look absolutely terrible too no matter how careful you are.

Only cheap option is to rip It out, rattle can the roof and pretend your in a Defended :D
You will be sorry though it will ruin your P38 experience.

Bagshot changed his for a Nissan type, looked good (and works)

Rip it off, clean the foam off the backing & recover it with new material.
You need to use a high temperature adhesive as ordinary carpet type won't take the heat.

I can recommend Martrim as I used one of their kits on my RRC.
