Jaguar XJS - Permanent Sagging Headliner Repair

Jaguar XJS Sagging Headliner Ultimate Fix

Jaguar XJS Sagging Heeadliner Repair - Ultimate Solution

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to experience a miracle? What it’s like being released from misery and delusion of two-dimensional thinking? Yes, Holy Grail is real, For all those poor grumpy XJS owners, who probably patched their headliner yesterday, for all those who need hair transplant from excessive abrasion during the drive, for their families, children crying from carcinogenic 3M adhesive vapour, for wives affected with domestic violence when something goes not as expected – I kindly introduce one and only solution for sagging-each-season headliner in your Jaguar XJS. Now stop thinking like BBC tells you to think, don’t bother with wondering what your neighbours will think about you. Quit all those fake values and stop being an outcome of social engineering. Just do it.

So here we are, it was fixed on last Friday. But we were having sunny weekend in UK and now, it’s back to normal. This is the moment, where every XJS owner have to decide - do it again next week to impress bystanders -or- empty the jerry can and pay insurance claim excess - to get something on top in the end.

Tools required: scissors, gas lighter, syringe needle or nail, Kevlar survival cord (slides well) or piece of string/any string, curved upholstery needle. Training recommended if your outcome is expected to be same quality as the one on the photos (old socks or teddy bear nicked from your children’s playroom, NHS/G4S vacancy etc). Be gentle, don’t look back, have no sentiment. Just remind yourself each time you were fixing this pile of sagging crap. Your string/wire will get stuck notoriously and cause a cut-through fiberglass above the sagging fabric like a piano wire through the throat. But there is a way. Heat up a syringe needle or nail (whatever goes red under exposure to flame) with lighter/torch and melt the piercing points around the needle while piercing back with every stich.

I know what you’re thinking, maybe it’s not exactly what you were looking for, especially in terms of aesthetics… Get over with it, apart from riveting it through the roof - this is the only option. You may try different brands of adhesives, master the art of taking out and installing headliner’s board, you may ride your Jag without a heating with developed flu. You may even store your Jag upside down. It won’t help. You will fail and join to the ranks of many dissatisfied Jaguar XJS owners with sticky fingers...
