Volkswagen should be sued for their headliners sagging in every VW models....
They really should be! 😂
@@RatchetWrenches absolutely bro., The VW headliner saggings are a hot mess all over the world now.
it's bout that time VW takes responsibility and repair their sagging liners and door panels for free to no charge to the oners .....
I prefer to spend my money on my children, and not some sagging VW headliners...
Yeah ..
Agree 😂 im glad mine still looks good after 17 years
I did this exact replacement in my 2006 GTI. It took forever, the issue was mostly the leftover glue and fabric stuck to the board. Not hard but just time consuming. You guys did a great job!
Agreed its very time consuming! But so worth it. Thanks!
Amazing tutorial! Been working on getting a severely used Golf I bought up to spec, and this is a life saver for taking care of that headliner!
Thank you!
Thank you sir, this was exactly what I’ve been looking for. You just saved me from having to stumble around looking for all the clips and Tscrews. Great video, thanks again.
Glad we were able to help you out! Thank you for watching!
Best video I've seen doing the job! Thank you for the insight!
Thank you for watching!
That was great and a huge improvement! Thanks 👍🏼
Thank you! Yeah it changed the entire interior
Amazing DIY, this helps for sure. I have an '08 MK5 GTI and so far it is still mint in the interior, but I know one day this will come handy as the car ages further. I'm the first owner of the car as well and so far the car has been maintained well. Thanks for this video. This helps a lot.
That's awesome being the first owner and it being in MINT condition! Yes it'll come one day 😂 hopefully not anytime soon though
Awesome Video! been looking for a video like this with clear steps
Thanks glad you enjoyed 👍🏼
This is awesome! Good stuff guys
Appreciate it thanks!
Also u explained everything Very good I understand everything
THank you! And we’re glad you were able to follow it!
My 06 plate gti has just started doing this around the sunglasses case was thinking of taking it to a upholstery shop but watching you do it looks easy Peasy great vid just earned a sun 👍
We appreciate that thank you! Yeah it's really not as hard as you would think just more time consuming then anything. Good luck!
It’s time consuming. And don’t rush the process.
Wicked video - really helpful & that is definitely a 2 man job👏👏
Appreciate that! And yes makes it so much easier for sure
Keep up the uploads. I hope everything’s going well with you man 👍
Thanks man we def will keep posting, and same to you brotha!
Definitely saving this for when I get my MK5
It's a must! 😂
I have the MK6, the interior is mint besides the roof liner that is finally starting to fall off. I cannot drive it with the windows down or it will fall in one piece, lol. Is in my to do list this upcoming winter, eventually...😅
*I hope the new roof is holding up after all these months...
Thanks for the tutorial! Unfortunately it’s above my pay grade. 😅
You're welcome and 😂
Imma watch this later I'm strugging with this
Hopefully this tutorial helps you!
Did you also redo the fabrics on the doors and in the rear? I see it also has staples. I’d really like to see a video on that since that’s my issue right now :(
Classy fabric choice! I remember seeing the door upholstery swap video you did a couple of years ago and was wondering if you're going to apply the same fabric you just used for the headliner and cover this GTI's doors or any other interior pieces?
Thanks!
Thank you! The fabric is actually really nice and good quality we're glad we went with this one. And yes we'll be applying this same fabric to the door panel areas and same with the rear!
@@RatchetWrenches Yeah, it's going to look nice in there! I'm looking forward to whatever you upload next for the GTI. Cheers!
So morning before sun rise is best temp
Great video personally wouldn't have gone black with grey interior tho
Thanks and yeah everyone has their personal preferences!
I'd like to hear the amount of time to do this job. Thank you for the video.
We didn't time it but I think it took approximately 6 hours with filming
Did you guys have to iron out the fabric to get the creases out? I’ve heard they ship it in 1x1 bag
Nope we didn't have any issues with creases!
What is the size of the fabric that you used? Planning on doing it. Just need to gather all the materials
If you click the link in the description it'll bring you to the exact one we bought and used!
Do you have a shop in NJ (I noticed the GTI had a NJ plate). If so do you do this work for customers?
Yeah Austin said to reach out to him via Instagram at AMJAutoSupply
Great video. Do you know if its safe to drive my car around with all the panels and headliner removed? Im dropping my headliner off at an upholstery shop but i still need my car for work. Just wondering if its safe to drive around with the airbags exposed
It will be safe yeah. More noisy because of no insulation but yes it’ll be safe
@@RatchetWrenches I appreciate the reply.
hey bro was the fabric you used kinda stretchy because i got some suede but its not super stretchy so idk if i can get it in all the gaps
I'd say it had minimal stretch and we didn't have issues molding the fabric into all the crevices and gaps!
hi the previous owner of my mk7 golf had done a really bad paint job on the headliner, it feels really spikey and it just crumbles off. any recommendations on what i could do to?
Probably would have to pull it completely out and redo it like we did in this video
right after the central lamp in the front middle - there are 4 holders that hold the front attached to the roof - how you managed to get them out?
I just did mine today and unfortunately just broken the plastics :( .. but it took me like 40 min of messing up while looking on how to extract those .... :( Any guidance would be really helpful ... still for future knowledge
Are you referring to the 4 T30 screws that are behind the sun glasses holder and other plastic trim? If so you would just remove those screws but if you're referring to something else I just rewatched that segment and I don't think we filmed up close when actually removing it but if I were to guess it'd either be hooked on or some kind of plastic slide piece so you'd just have to be really careful and wiggle them until they loosen up!
I tried this myself with zero luck lol, the glue wouldnt adhere cause it was so hot out at the time 😂
It’s def not the easiest job and yeah the glue needs to be applied in a certain temp just like paint 😬😬
What about the doors , got vids of that?
We do on our previous GTI. Here’s the link.
th-cam.com/video/I0kDZ7M46nc/w-d-xo.html
Where i can order the material for the roof lining pls
Got it linked in the video description for ya!
The same dimensions work on mk6 gti too?
I'm not sure if the dimensions are the same or different
MK5 GTIIIIIIIIIII
Yessir!!
What are the measurements for the sheet
If you click on the link in the description it'll bring you to the exact fabric we bought!
All the side pillars screw gone downinside
🤷🏽♂️😂
This Procedure Would be the same for my Rabbit Right?
Yeah it’s the same setup, only thing would be different is if you have a sunroof
@@RatchetWrenches Ah ok i don't have a sunroof so this should be an pretty amazing experiment for me and Thanks for the info👍
About to start this job on my mk6 gti tonight. I believe i got the same fabric too.
Looks like i should grab a beer or 2 to have while doing it.
Awesome! Hahahah yes I'd highly recommend! The removal of the old adhesive is very tedious but important to get it as clean as you possibly can. Just take your time and make sure you tuck everything and press firmly to make sure that headliner adheres well and you'll be set. Good luck!
@@RatchetWrenches worst part was the cleanup for sure. I broke the screw covers on the pillars but not a big deal. Printed some from ASA.
Clean up of old adhesive was a 2 beer job.
