interior material coming off
1 Attachment(s)
OK. I have a 1999 S80 non turbo. On the inside of the car on both sides right where the windshield meets toe side of the body the material is coming off the car. i took it into an upholstery place and to my surprise he pulled off the whole panel in just a few seconds on each side of the car. I am adding a picture. He is gluing it back but said it probably wont last. Any ideas on where to get this panel ?

I bought similarly colored headliner material and redid mine...

I had the same problem with my 2000 S80 nonturbo. Ended up removing the panel on the driver side and gluing the cloth material with Permatex Heavy Duty Headliner & Carpet Adhesive. That was approximately 6 months ago and it seems to be holding. Will be doing the panel on the passenger side soon following the same technique.

same prob here deciding to take it to an apolstry guy that has done some really great jobs on other imports figure he can do a better job than me

I believe you are referring to the A-pillar covering fabric.
This is very common on bimmers and volvos and others. Its the unnatural heat. If your car sits in the sun it will peel sooner. I just glued my wifes apillar back on last month and seh has a 01 but no garage at work, although she always puts up windshield screen. You can pop off the panel A,B betweeen the doors, or the C in back, with varying degrees of ease and pull fabric off to some deggree and spray with 3-M spray adhesive from car parts store, designed for temp extremes.If you are careful, you can sometimes with a little practice do this well. Other wise, buy the piece at the dealer for $60 to 90. It can be a pain. |
kinda funny mine just popped out today lol.. I use my visor to keep it in place for now.
