Passat (B6) :: Headliner Comes Apart
Aug 20, 2011
On my 2006 Passat the headliner comes apart. I talked to my dealer and contacted VWoA 3 times. They claim that it is not a manufacturing issue. I was surprised, because as I saw pictures of 2006 Jetta's in the vwvortex forum where VW covered exact the same problem 100% or at least 75%. The dealer want to repair it and not replace it. I wonder if this is any good, because there are several locations where the headliner is sagging.

So we are taking a short trip and my dad decides he would like to drive my new passat. That means I get kicked to the back seat as my wife will not give up her heated seat. We are on the highway now and I noticed for the first time some very annoying wind noise coming from the rear headliner between the door and the small window. It almost sounds as if the widow is opened a crack but I checked.

My car has no headliner at all. No foam, nothing, just bare metal. I have yet to find a headliner for it, nor do i want to shell out big bucks for it. So, how could I go about making a new one from scratch? or maybe a way to cover it up. Adding some sort of insulation would work too, as winter is approaching. Just something that looks nice is ok with me.

Just got myself a gentex 177 autodim/compass mirror and I'm trying to find a source in the headliner that is only hot when key is in acc or run. Would do map lights but they're always hot. Trying to run as little wire as possible. Was thinking sunroof switch but I don't have a Pinout diagram of that harnes.

Spoke with a friend the other day and his headliner is falling, already. Was there a recall on this, never seen a car this new be so bad...
I offered to do his headliner for him, but would like to keep the OE pattern. I can get regular stuff from a local fabric shop, but didn't recall seeing anything close to what is in there.

I want to change my headliner to a different design. Any info on how to remove it will be useful. Also, is it true that if you take it off you have to buy new clips or brackets?

Just noticed that an A-pillar plastic cover (on the right side) is coming apart from headliner. Inspected it further and discovered that the headliner is somewhat separating from the roof, so much that I can stick my fingers in there. Nothing like that on the left side. It seems that there are no clips that that I could push back in, it just hangs freely.

So recently I was driving in the rain and noticed that my drivers side headliner was wet.
I finally had a dry day today to test out the drain lines on the sunroof. The passenger side drains fine all the way to the bottom of the car. On the drivers side the water went through the drain and did not come down to the bottom of the car, instead it went straight to the headliner new the drivers side A-pillar.
Would suspect a disconnected drain line or a broken drain line? Or is it simply clogged? I don't know if i have much time to take apart the headliner myself.

How do the wires run from the auto dimming mirror up to the headliner? Is there a hole in the grey plastic piece in the headliner that sits right in front of the map light assembly?

I recently took my 2010 Toyota Corolla LE to the dealer for an oil change and also to resolve a trunk leak.
I guess when they tried to resolve the trunk leak their mechanic smeared some oil on the headliner. Whats the best way to remove the oil stains on the headliner?

I went into my 2011 se this morning and noticed all 4 doors had water stains on the headliner in the exact same spots. Not sure how this happened and how it's all 4 doors in the exact same spot. Another weird thing is, I don't have a sunroof.
Here are some pics:
Driver's side door:

My dealership had to replace the headliner in my 2013 Santa Fe after they got grease all over it. However now my GPS navigation is not working. It never finds any satellites, but yet it displays my speed in the info screen. The heading direction also work on the GPS map, just my location is 30 KM away.
Before I call them tomorrow morning I wanted to ask if the GPS antenna is somewhere near the headliner and how they could have wrecked something when they replaced it.
The Navigation screen is on all the time and I noticed it immediately after picking the car up.

How to remove the sunroof shade/screen? The headliner on my shade is falling down. I'd like to remove the shade for repair. I'm hoping the entire headliner does not need to be removed.

I'm trying to lower the rear part of the headliner so I can replace a broken antenna base. I've read the detailed photo instructions posted on this site. I've been able to dislodge all of the parts covering the rear section of the headliner, including the dome light, but I can't get enough clearance unless I also remove the two rear grip assists. I'm flummoxed trying to remove the grip covers and sub-assembly. The official instructions are confusing, and the dealer tech could not explain it in a way I could understand. See attached diagrams. I can't figure out how to use the screwdriver to release the grip covers.

We just got a bunch of rain in San Diego and my cousin was sitting in the back seat of my scab when she felt water on her shoulder on the passenger side back window. I did some investigating today to find it not coming through the window but dripping off the back of the headliner. Is it the third brake light or the back window seal? If it is any recommendations on a fix?

So we just had a rain storm and I looked at the back driver side headliner and there is a leak! Do you think it is from the window or the roof? When I pressed on the headliner water dripped out so there was a bit of water.

I recently purchased a certified 2013 Camry SE and just found the headliner bent above the rear window. I'm not sure if my 4 year old decided to take a look up in the headliner and bent it or if I missed it during initial inspection. It looks like it was pulled down with one finger and its kind of folded. Its at about the 1/3 point going across the upper rear window. It is a very small bend, only an inch or so deep. Any way to repair a bent headliner? Or have a link on how to repair it? I was thinking of using hot glue and a metal rod or plate but am concerned it may bleed through. Its very annoying to see it every day when looking in the rear view mirror.

I hear sometimes a tiny metallic clicking noise coming from the front of headliner in my 2013 Lexus ES350, on the driver's side. It only happens sometimes while driving over the small potholes. It can be from the sunroof mechanism, but I am not sure. What can cause it?
