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.
View 2 RepliesI recently purchased a 2009 FX4 Supercrew. So far so good, other than I am just noticing stains on the headliner near the back window. Looking at TSB 12-4-4, it looks like the truck has the leaky third brake light issue - or had it in the past. Of course I am beyond the factory warranty, but I was wondering if there was a way to tell if the previous owner had this resolved? Is it common, even if it was addressed previously, that the seal could go bad on this light again?
View 5 RepliesHow to repair where the roof vents and dome lights go? The headliner is in great shape, but a few of the vents have been pulled out and I would like to fix them.
View 3 RepliesA rattle has developed coming from the headliner behind the sunroof, I hear it when driving over rough roads. It seems most noticeable on the passenger side. I can replicate it if I thump on the headliner in the backseat behind the sunroof. I can make it stop if I push up against the headliner when sitting in the back seat. And I am pretty sure its not coming from the sunroof which has its own set of noises.

View 4 RepliesI took my first road trip last weekend in my new-to-me 2010 Tiguan. At speeds over 70mph, there is a quite loud buzzing noise from the front of the roof area. It sounds like 2 pieces of metal are slapping together at a very high rate of speed. I can't for the life of me figure out what it could be. It is really, really annoying. So much so, that I may take another car for my NYC to Florida trip next month. I'd really like to take the Tiguan though...
I have the panoramic roof - it all seems tight and has no rattles whatsoever. There are no loose moldings, no gaps in the windshield molding. The roof rails appear to be tight, however the front of the right one is slightly raised off of the roof surface. I was going to try to tighten it somehow, but don't know how to even access the screws that hold it down.
Hard to describe since I'm away from the Tiguan and can't take a picture.. but I noticed that the left side wasn't tucked under, but the right side was. I'm referring to where the two glass roofs meet in the middle. The rubber seals are completely visible from the front but then are tucked under the plastic part at the middle of the sunroof.
View 3 RepliesOur '88 S10 is having sagging head liner problems. It appears that the cloth is separating from the structure underneath it, allowing it to droop and even touch our heads. Is there a way to fix this back to the way it normally was? Does it require any special tools to remove it? or is it better to just find a replacement?
View 1 RepliesI'm having a tough time separating the brass fitting, even using a 10mm wrench. I noticed it moves below the bracket, so I'm trying to hold the oval with square corner base on the hose itself, but even then, have started to round the corners on the brass nut.
I'm gonna continue with the job, leaving the old hose, and will have to come back to this later, because I'm installing a new caliper (old one froze, and I just found out why, broken lower slide).
Any trick to separating the fitting between steel brake line and rubber?
ETA, to replace the brass fitting, does it mean cutting the tube, inserting another fitting, and flaring the end? I hate to leave the old hose or a rounded nut.
Ok, so I picked up some Recon clear lenses because both my amber lenses had cracks in them, and because I think they really cool.
I can't get these damned mirrors apart. According to the directions you shove a screwdriver in the three tabs behind the mirrors and push down and presumably out to separate the skin from the mirror. Problem is, I push down and out and nothing happens. Is there an order to this or what the heck am I doing wrong.
Removing 4.6 triton from 1998 F-150. Is there a way to remove the top 2 screws connecting the engine to the bell housing without removing the intake manifold? Although I don't mind removing the intake, I am doing a 4.6 to 5.4 swap and would rather attach the intake prior to putting the 5.4L back in. Figuring if I cant get it out that way though, I wont be able to put it back that way.

View 12 RepliesMy 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.

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.
View 2 RepliesOn 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.

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?
View 6 RepliesSo 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.
