- In this video I show you how to remove the headliner from a Bentley Continental. and the I show you how to do the repair so the leather headlining is no longer sagging.
Really helpful video and great workmanship. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great to see a craftsman working I have to say if it was my car had a change the colour it’s a very dark inside that Bentley.
Thanks. It is very dark inside
Great help. Remove my headline it about an hour
Glad it helped!
Great video! What thickness foam did you use?

thank you so much sir for sharing tutorial...today I'll the do like a this car
your welcome
Beautiful video thank you so much
Thank you too
Wow great vid. Is there a module inside of the roof light switch panel? My scanner reports some errors there, which is strange cause it's never been removed. The roof module fuse is okay. I am suspecting the module to be 'defective' caused by low voltage on batteries and a faulty alternator, and this video very clearly shows how to dive in! So thank you!
I think there is one at the front and one at the back
Hi mate and nice work. I have an 05 bentley gt, I had the sagging headliner replaced a few years ago, it's now sagging again. It's black on black and I'm in Texas so I do understand.
I want to try to cut the headliner where the main headliner leather joins the side panel (in your video recall you didn't remove the hardware on the side panel as you were essentially ignoring the side panel. ) once I cut a slit at exactly the join between headliner and side panel then I plan to scrape old foam , then either replace the foam and re glue everything. In other words, I don't want to remove headliner, I'm happy to cut the leather carefully so I can get glue behind and re seal the cut. It should not be seen if I do it carefully. What do you think ? Any advice on doing this by keyhole surgery ?
I would not advise cutting the stitch and trying want you to re_glue. the headliner comes out very easy you should have a go at the repair yourself just do the prep right and you will be ok
Excellent quality work. What do you use to remove any spray that gets where it shouldn’t? 😊
Thanks , white spirits get the glue off the good side of the leather
@@coastalcushionco8227 thanks. The content of the videos is great. You are very skilled
@@stephenpayne9382 Thank you
Seems like a easier solution would be to pop the middle out and do a brush on adhesive and doing it from the inside of the car instead of a complete tear down. Or is that possible ?
To do it that way you would have to cut a hole in the roof of the car to access the fixings for the centre section and then work it a very small area fighting gravity. And then clean all the old foam from the car. After that you would have to weld the roof back up and repaint the car. That would be the only way to do it the way you suggest. Not sure if the owner would be up for that
Great work. Do you know if the Continental GT 2012 (MK2 / Gen. 2) is the same? The rear of the headliner is hanging down (not the leather, but the entire headliner backing).
It’s probably the plastic that is glued to the headliner that has come away. So you will need to remove the headliner and re-glue it back in place
@@coastalcushionco8227 Thank you.
Really appreciate this video. Could you tell me what kind of foam you used?
3mm scrim foam
Thank you!
Very interesting thankyou however it is sad to see that a “quality motorcar” suffers from these problems ! .
Also is it trial and error that you learn how to undo these headlinings or do Bentley help you out ? .
Some very expensive cars have poor interiors. I am self taught on most of the cars that I work on, but Most headliners are held in in similar ways, so there’s not really much to learn anymore after years. The older cars are just a bit more fragile because of their age.

Thankyou for that , I have been a Harness Maker and Saddler and dabbled a bit with coach trimming but on pre war cars , so only tacks and sewing ! .
@@davidbnsmessex.5953 I have worked on a lot of 60+ year old cars, they are much simpler but some of them are in terrible conditioning need a lot of TLC
What would it cost to get this done?
Also cost to change colour from cream to black.
Many thanks

Thanks very much for this - 3mm thick foam but what density or grade??? Downunder Bentley owner 👍
whatever you can get as long as it is not closed cell foam
Could you send the link to the foam you have used in the video?
What is the max thickness of the foam. My headliner is actually suede and leather.
3mm
Its all well and the easy of getting the Headliner out of Bentley Continental but how is possible to take a Headliner out of a Rover 75 Saloon 🙃 which I want to do
it is very similar but it has b pillars so you need to remove the seat belts and b pillar covers. then you have to take it out through the front door but you have to unbolt the check strap so the door opens more. if you remove the front seats it is a little easier. the hardest thing is that the gear stick gets in the way a little bit, but it is doable
Great job! If these companies would just use a higher grade foam, none of this would be necessary would it?
How much is this ? Thx

what spray glue are you using?
High heat contact adhesive
@@coastalcushionco8227 any particular brand you recommend for lining a glass fiber boat hull with fabric?
