For future reference 3/4 of the professional cost is removal and replacing the headliner. i just got quoted ~$160 AU (about $110 US and wages are higher here) to have the headliner and c panels re-lined - the trick is GIVE THEM THE HEADLINER not the whole car, it is a fiddly job to get it out, but not a hard job and well worth DIY on many cars (this is an e36 BMW, so only a dozen bolts to remove and a heap of fun getting it physically out of the car). Prices were from $120 to $250 just for the headliner re-line so do shop round.
Thanks for posting the Clip; I'm going to try it on my Audi A6 Avant of 2000. Rooflining in the loading area of the vehicle has sagged completely and there are signs of similar "movement" in th rest of the car. Got a quote for R30 000 today (you can do the conversion yourself) which is totally ridiculous. That's for replacing the complete lining, sunroof included. Sprayglue will probably not work, especially due to the thin foamrubber layer in the material, which has pulverised in the heat and caused the separation in the first place.
To all the haters, if the visual result works, and it will stay up better than spray glue, how is this "cheating" the next owner? If the headliner is held up, who cares HOW it's held up. FFS It's not like he's throwing chemiweld into the engine to hide a leaking head gasket or something. It's a cosmetic fix. Get off your high horses. As for trading in, a dealer wont really give a rats about headliner anyway. They can have their guy fix it for next to nothing so I personally wouldn't bother if trading in.
awesome tip! I'm glad I searched for this. the same thing is happening to my Jetta in the same exact spot.... I'm going to try this method. thanks for sharing!
TACKS! , dollar store will work but fabric tacks are even better. I guiess for a trade in it'a a good idea, but for me tacks gets it done. The only real fix is pulling and replacing the headliner.
This was happening in my car right at the back, in front of the rear windshield. I tried carpet tape but it did not work, it just fell off like an hour later. I think because my car has that really soft/thin fabric on the roof with foam behind it. It felt like there is some sort of plastic behind the foam so I tried staples. It seems to be holding well so far, and unless you stick your head behind the head-rests in the back you cant even see the staples.
I'm going to try this tomorrow, fixing a headliner with cig burns in it almost seems silly, I wonder what it looks like with bare factory metal instead, has anyone taken the fabric off and sprayed the foam insert with a hard coat? I have ideas.
If you have an old car that you want to sell and the headliner is falling off, consider just pulling the cloth off, toss it in the trash, clean off the headliner and paint it black. I did it with my old truck and it looked great.
That's why I prefer to lease and get rid of the car in 3 years or so. Pay little more but get all new car, all the time and not have to do a lot hidden payments.
I'm looking for solutions for the same prob. This is a good idea! I can't exactly spray adhesive while I'm sitting in the car under the saggy headliner! I'm also thinking maybe a glue that can be applied with a brush might work, like a fabric glue. I need to see what is available at hardware, automotive, and fabric stores. Thanks for the video and a potential quick-fix idea!
Alec Paschall its carpet tape: Carpet tape is a collective term used to identify three types of tape routinely used with carpeting projects. One type has to do with keeping carpets and area rugs in place. The term is also used for a product that is used to bind up raw edges on carpets and carpet fragments. A third form has to do with joining two or more sections of carpeting to create a single piece. When it comes to keeping a rug in place, a double-sided carpet tape product is often used. Adhesive found on both sides of the tape made it possible to create a strong bond between the backing on the carpet and the floor surface. This type of tape is usually found in rolls, as with any other type of tape product, and is an ideal solution with any carpeting that is not manufactured as a no-slip rug. To keep the adhesive fresh and the tape ready for use, a paper backing is usually included on one or both sides of the tape. The backing is peeled away after the sections of tape are cut to fit the dimensions of the carpet or rug. Cut sections of the binding tape are affixed to the underside of the rug, which is then moved into position on the floor. Smoothing out the rug and pressing slightly on the areas where the tape is found underneath help to establish the bond between the rug and the surface of the floor. A second type of carpet tape is used to bind the raw edges of a carpet fragment. This product is often helpful when using a larger fragment for an area rug. The vinyl tape is affixed to the underside, leaving a small lip that is folded over and pressed into place on the front side. While not as secure as other forms of rug binding, the tape will remain in place for a significant amount of time. The third type is used to create a strong connection between sections of carpeting. This tape is often used when joining two smaller pieces to form one larger carpet or area rug. By turning the carpeting with the backing facing up, it is possible to align the sections and then apply a line of this one-sided tape to join the two pieces. Carpet seam tape is often used by designers to create an interesting and unique carpet. It can also be used to insert a new section of carpet to replace a section that was damaged and cut from the larger piece. not the adhesive spray: Spray adhesive is an adherent delivered in droplet form. There are many kinds, to meet the needs of many different applications. It can often be substituted for white glue, hot glue, tape, and other adhesives, as long as the materials to be bonded are taken into account. In making a choice of spray adhesive, it is important to note how quickly it bonds, and whether the bond is permanent, semi-permanent, or temporary. Tack is another important characteristic to consider when choosing spray adhesive for a particular application. Tack is how sticky an adhesive is. High tack means that the mounting adhesive will grip nearly instantly, while low-tack adhesive is able to be repositioned and a good choice for layouts and other exploratory projects. Artist’s Adhesive. This is specially made for exploratory work with lightweight material. It can be lifted and repositioned, and is therefore often chosen for applications such as layouts, design creation, photocomposition, and other situations in which a permanent bond is not sought. General Spray Adhesives or Spray Glues. In this category are bonding adhesives which, depending on how quickly they dry and how much tack they have, can be useful for different purposes. One kind can join a variety of surfaces permanently, including vapor barriers, carpet padding, and polyethylene sheeting, while allowing for temporary positioning of paper products, foam, and fabric. Another is specially made for lightweight home and business applications, including scrapbooking, wreaths, silk flower arrangements, model building, and home improvement and repair. Extra strong adhesive is used for bonding laminates on countertops, tables, and shelving. The word glue may be used interchangeably with adhesive in these products. Photo Mount Spray Adhesive. Besides being used to mount photographs, this can be used with prints, illustrations, posters, and maps. It is also useful for scrapbooking. Spray Fabric Adhesive. Spray-based adhesive is useful and neater to apply to fabrics than glue, but not permanent if the fabric is cleaned by laundering or dry cleaning. Also, unlike recommended fabric glues, it has toxic fumes and must be used in a well-ventilated space. Spray Foam Adhesive. There are several foam spray adhesives to fit several different kinds of foam. One product is specially made to bond other material to Styrofoam®. It is particularly useful for flower craft, wreath-making, and railroad scenery creation. Another foam adhesive is made for soft foam and fabric, and is geared toward upholstery applications. Very Specialized Adhesives. Some spray adhesives are designed for use with only one or two materials. Drywall tinted adhesive is for attaching plastic corner beads to drywall. This and other tinted adhesives help you see how much adhesive you’ve applied and how widely spread your application is. Rubber and vinyl spray adhesives are specially formulated to form bonds with vinyl, leather, laminate, wood, and most rubber and plastic products.
+Google User ----- stronger the tape... longer the hold. buy good quality and it lasted a pretty decent time. Also watch out for any remaining foam left on the roof. It lasted a few months before a few touch ups. good luck
Reputable dealers generally don't resell cars that old, especially a vw, unless its unusually mint, low kms and passes their safety inspection. Otherwise they just wholesale them to local shad tree used car lots.
No I have tried the spray adhesive I've used it more than once it does not hold I'm going to resort to Barbed thumbtacks or bend the pin on the thumbtack horizontal , But then I didn't scrape off the dusty , dirty foam that is under the fabric on the cardboard
It seems like a very good idea but you don't explain much. There's two kinds of tapes and no explanation on how to use either or both of them... Could you please elaborate a little more. Thank you
+hola yol I used only the carpet tape. Just stick as much as you can to roof and peel. stretch the fabric as tight as you can, then press and hold. Using this in combination with the adhesive spray may also add to the time the bonding will hold. best of luck.
I'm 50 yrs old, driving a 2003 Sierra. I just want the damn headliner off of my bald head. I don't give a damn what the Jones think of it. I'll rip it out if I can't rig it.
philanna38 A putty knife is a specialized tool used when glazing single glazed windows, to work putty around the edges of each pane of glass. An experienced glazer will apply the putty by hand, and then smooth it with the knife. Modern insulated glazing may use other ways of securing the glass to the window frame. A spackle knife (called a scraper in British English, also known as a spatula in American English) is also commonly called a "putty knife",[citation needed] and is used for scraping surfaces or spreading material such as plaster in various construction trades. Widths from 11⁄4" to 5" or 6" are commonly available. Wider-bladed knives up to about 12" are used for sheet rocking. Larger blades are made, but generally lack the stability of the smaller blades and do not make a perfectly flat surface. Stiff-blade knives, typically 1 mm or .040" thick, are suitable for scraping. Flexible-blade knives, typically 0,5 mm or .020" thick, are suitable for spreading. Disposable knives, with handle and blade molded as a single piece of plastic, are suitable for occasional jobs such as spreading roof patching tar, where cleanup may involve hazardous solvents.
My wife's mk5 gti has only 40000km and the headliner is coming off and air con not working. VW's are really just a piece of shit as her previous car was a Toyota corolla that was nearly 30 years old with 360000km and headliner intact and mechanically running fine.
J. Hon I mean usually a trade in means selling it to a dealership... not a person... a dealership... where they have the means to repair the problem at cost rather than the super overpriceness they charge us.. the consumer... dur... plus... Outside of maybe seeing a student driver car practicing a parallel turn next to your new vehicle, nothing causes more fear in new car owners than inadvertently getting saddled with a lemon. Your new carefully planned investment has become a mechanical albatross, costing you time and money with every repair. Fortunately, however, you are protected by state Lemon Laws provided you purchased from a car dealership. Lemon Laws and Auto Dealers Every state, including the District of Columbia, has a Lemon Law in place. Specifics vary by state, of course, but in general apply to new cars sold by a dealership car salesperson. Some states are beginning to modify the law so as to also cover a used car purchase, but only if the vehicle is still under warranty. Your vehicle is covered if you meet your state’s Lemon Law criteria. In general, this may include: Your vehicle has been to a shop a certain number of times for the same repair but without any success. Most states require a minimum of three visits. Be sure to maintain strict records of each visit.The car has been in a repair shop for a specified number of days. Most states require at least 30 days.You’ve reported the problem at least once within a specified time period or before reaching a certain number of miles. Indiana, for instance, requires notification within 18 months or before 18,000 miles. Notification in Pennsylvania, however, must be prior to 12,000 miles.The problem is not the result of abuse, neglect, accident, or alteration caused by you or another driver. Your Vehicle’s a Lemon: Now What? If your vehicle fits the definition of a lemon, you have a legal case. This means you may be afforded some or all of the following rights as specified by your state: The right to have the auto industry (the vehicle’s manufacturer) replace your vehicle with a similar new vehicle.The right to force the car dealership or manufacturer to repurchase the vehicle at the original car for sale price. This should include finance charges, car registration fees and taxes. If the manufacturer and or dealership refuses to replace or refund the vehicle in question, you can, under the terms of your state’s Lemon Law, take them to court. Most dealers will try to avoid this. Regardless, if filing suit is your last option, hiring legal counsel is strongly recommended. There are many law firms that specialize in Lemon Law cases.
yes indeed! it's aholes like this that makes me leary of buying cars from individuals. I'd rather just know upfront that it's a problem then negotiate from there!
Try living in the tropics - the headliner sags out right at the rear light. My mkv gti just did the same thing. No smoking. Not saying they can't but you don't need to in the trops.
didn't even really look actually. so it did work... accentually. Wasn't hanging... ended up getting over blue book value in trade for the vehicle. Not pissed... glad it all worked out..
Indeed... to trade it in to a dealership who will replace it at cost before resale... I get more money for my trade in.... they don't care because they have a budget for car repair on trade ins. I love the people that get mad at this video.... like you wouldn't lie to a car salesman.. hahahaha... that sounds like the begging to a joke or like a grandpa quote. "Lie like a car salesman boy" - GpaPlus all the other fixes out there.... suck... glue or tacks.... wtf.... tape... easy cheap... trade it or not.... I am not replacing the fucking ceiling cloth.... what.... $500-$600... hahahaha.... this cost me $7....P.s. what is your weird suggestion as an alternative to this then?
+daisy3690 --- Not if you are trading it to dealership, where they will fix it anyway.... ever trade in a car? Have you? Hoping they don't notice things that are wrong with the vehicle... so you get more money for it? Have you ever traded in a car? Do you know what trading a car in is? Honesty? To car dealership?... hmm is like asking them to pay you as little as possible for vehicle as possible... and then have them rape you on the price of your next purchase (as they do). So ya, no, tell them the truth... ethics are a salesman's top priority.. your right.. I am sorry... play kingdom hearts if you want heart stuff... But if you want to not get raped on the price of your vehicle on its trade in value, then fib a bit. Most car dealers, on a trade in will lie to you about the cost of repairing small imperfections with the vehicle you are trading to hopefully gain more on the sale of your newest purchase. This video is to combat salesman that work strictly on commission, and take advantage of the unknowing buyer. If you are the person that tells 100% of truth to the people that only use that against you, then fine. However, I'm sure that you are paying way more things that you shouldn't be.
Oh, thank you so much for responding to my comment. No, I've never traded a car. I give them to family because I think they are worth more than anyone will want to pay. I don't play games since Atari days and glad of it. I drove my blood pressure up with the stress of that (with only one button and one joy stick!!) Anyway, have a nice day and please be well
+technofridge actually no they don't usually fix it even if they know it's a problem, it's usually passed on to the next buyer so he was dishonest by proxy.
I bought a used vehicle with a large hole in the floor. The DEALER had covered it by putting down nice new floor mats. I didn't think of looking under the mats for possible flaws. I found out about the hole when I ran it thru a car wash with a bottom blaster. One of the qualifications for being a used car salesman is being unethical.
So is your Mom... and Dad... and siblings... and family... hahhaha this is you... hey durrrrr you suck durrrrrr im cooll durrrrr. .... ... Notice all of the grammatical errors that you made... Your name doesn't make any since either.... Have a great day! You are very very stupid....- techno
This is very helpful! I have a 06 Jetta with the same issue and the spray adhesive held for about 2 hours
+Simply Shae ---- I know, that stuff is a joke!!! glad I could help!!
Adhesive spray... Without adhesive spray... My bad.. Shut up and try it.. It works.. UA-cam bitch
Looks pretty good. Good idea. Thank you
For future reference 3/4 of the professional cost is removal and replacing the headliner. i just got quoted ~$160 AU (about $110 US and wages are higher here) to have the headliner and c panels re-lined - the trick is GIVE THEM THE HEADLINER not the whole car, it is a fiddly job to get it out, but not a hard job and well worth DIY on many cars (this is an e36 BMW, so only a dozen bolts to remove and a heap of fun getting it physically out of the car).

+Mijc Osis (mycosys) where mate? im in brissie and need to get mine fixed.
spud4242 That is very ugly ... pay a professional person do not be idiots
you should of run some sandpaper over the surface to get old glue off and used 3m headliner spray to put it back on yourself. Since you went that far.
spud4242 hi mate, did you get yours fixed? I have same problem ?
Thanks for posting the Clip; I'm going to try it on my Audi A6 Avant of 2000.
Rooflining in the loading area of the vehicle has sagged completely and there are signs of similar "movement" in th rest of the car.
Got a quote for R30 000 today (you can do the conversion yourself) which is totally ridiculous. That's for replacing the complete lining, sunroof included.
Sprayglue will probably not work, especially due to the thin foamrubber layer in the material, which has pulverised in the heat and caused the separation in the first place.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! In all caps because I'm so excited my headliner can be fixed. Mine's a 2006 Jetta.... Going to give it a shot this weekend.
no problem! hope it works out for you!!
To all the haters, if the visual result works, and it will stay up better than spray glue, how is this "cheating" the next owner?
If the headliner is held up, who cares HOW it's held up.
FFS It's not like he's throwing chemiweld into the engine to hide a leaking head gasket or something.
It's a cosmetic fix. Get off your high horses.
As for trading in, a dealer wont really give a rats about headliner anyway. They can have their guy fix it for next to nothing so I personally wouldn't bother if trading in.
An old plastic credit card or gift card works alot better than tweezers.
Simple, easy and no mess.
+Michael Galbraith -- thanks!!!
What material do you use: backed with polyethylene or with polyuretane? Where do you buy material? How much per linear foot (5 ft width)
Good idea......Thank you.
awesome tip! I'm glad I searched for this. the same thing is happening to my Jetta in the same exact spot.... I'm going to try this method. thanks for sharing!
Oh don't. Please don't.
most excellent, thanks.
Speaking of ridiculous, I couldn't live with a result like that.
Thanks for the vid. Oh, and I don't know why, but the name Technofridge just.. sounds right. Haha. Love it.
+Keemo577 Dude!! Thank you!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the video I just happened to have very same problem!
No problem!! hope it helps
What brand of carpet tape was this?
well done
TACKS! , dollar store will work but fabric tacks are even better. I guiess for a trade in it'a a good idea, but for me tacks gets it done. The only real fix is pulling and replacing the headliner.
Good idea double side tape

I'm going to try this tomorrow, fixing a headliner with cig burns in it almost seems silly, I wonder what it looks like with bare factory metal instead, has anyone taken the fabric off and sprayed the foam insert with a hard coat? I have ideas.
+Joshua Pierre nice!! that is actually a great idea! let me know what you end up doing
Great advice and video. Thank you, this will save me a ton of time.
It weill cost you 3 tons of time, as that crap dopesn't work, but keep going, and spend your time trying.
If you have an old car that you want to sell and the headliner is falling off, consider just pulling the cloth off, toss it in the trash, clean off the headliner and paint it black. I did it with my old truck and it looked great.
+cleverdummy productions Nice!!!
i did the same thing with my vintage land rover.
I'd consider that okay with trucks especially old trucks/ suvs probably not so much newer cars
That's why I prefer to lease and get rid of the car in 3 years or so. Pay little more but get all new car, all the time and not have to do a lot hidden payments.

Carpet tape is a collective term used to identify three types of tape

fragment. This product is often helpful when using a larger fragment for
an area rug. The vinyl tape is affixed to the underside, leaving a
small lip that is folded over and pressed into place on the front side.

It looks great!
i'm not selling my car, just trying to pretty it up. How long do you guess this will last?Thanks

Best option!
Right! Quick and easy!
hey +technofridge, is the tape double-sided?
+Vito Yusuf Yes
Just like today's "Professionals".
For how many days / months that tape hold it pls ?

Lmfaoo wtf my 2007 jetta is the reason I came here too hahah

Same. Wtf is up with the headliner in 2007 jettas?
06 jetta sent me here
No I have tried the spray adhesive I've used it more than once it does not hold I'm going to resort to Barbed thumbtacks or bend the pin on the thumbtack horizontal , But then I didn't scrape off the dusty , dirty foam that is under the fabric on the cardboard
scraping off the dusty old glue would allow the new spray to stick to the foam.
Hey Fridge, don't post Public videos if you can't answer a couple repeated questions. Breathe bro!
thanks for your super awesome and helpful insight....
so which tape did you use carpet tape or the other?
just the carpet tape... I didn't like the other
Awesome! Thank you!

It seems like a very good idea but you don't explain much. There's two kinds of tapes and no explanation on how to use either or both of them... Could you please elaborate a little more.
Thank you

I used only the carpet tape. Just stick as much as you can to roof and peel. stretch the fabric as tight as you can, then press and hold. Using this in combination with the adhesive spray may also add to the time the bonding will hold. best of luck.
Okay I'll give it a try. Thanks
it on already
LMFAO,,, WELL,,, CAN'T SEE IT FROM MY HOUSE,,,,,

It would be easier to tuck the material with a spackle spatula.

My wife's mk5 gti has only 40000km and the headliner is coming off and air con not working. VW's are really just a piece of shit as her previous car was a Toyota corolla that was nearly 30 years old with 360000km and headliner intact and mechanically running fine.
So, your screwing over the next owner, just like v.w. screwed you over. Bad Karma man.
J. Hon I mean usually a trade in means selling it to a dealership... not a person... a dealership... where they have the means to repair the problem at cost rather than the super overpriceness they charge us.. the consumer... dur...
plus...
Outside of maybe seeing a student driver car practicing a parallel
turn next to your new vehicle, nothing causes more fear in new car
owners than inadvertently getting saddled with a lemon. Your new
carefully planned investment has become a mechanical albatross, costing
you time and money with every repair.
Fortunately, however, you are protected by state Lemon Laws provided you
purchased from a car dealership.
Lemon Laws and Auto Dealers
Every state, including the District of Columbia, has a Lemon Law
in place. Specifics vary by state, of course, but in general apply to
new cars sold by a dealership car salesperson. Some states are beginning
to modify the law so as to also cover a used car purchase, but only if
the vehicle is still under warranty.
Your vehicle is covered if you meet your state’s Lemon Law criteria. In
general, this may include:
Your vehicle has been to a shop a certain number of times for the
same repair but without any success. Most states require a minimum of
three visits. Be sure to maintain strict records of each visit.The car
has been in a repair shop for a specified number of days. Most states
require at least 30 days.You’ve reported the problem at least once
within a specified time
period or before reaching a certain number of miles. Indiana, for
instance, requires notification within 18 months or before 18,000 miles.
Notification in Pennsylvania, however, must be prior to 12,000
miles.The problem is not the result of abuse, neglect, accident, or
alteration caused by you or another driver.
Your Vehicle’s a Lemon: Now What?
If your vehicle fits the definition of a lemon, you have a legal
case. This means you may be afforded some or all of the following rights
as specified by your state:
The right to have the auto industry (the vehicle’s manufacturer) replace
your vehicle with a similar new vehicle.The right to force the car
dealership or manufacturer
to repurchase the vehicle at the original car for sale price. This
should include finance charges, car registration fees and taxes.
If the manufacturer and or dealership refuses to replace or refund
the vehicle in question, you can, under the terms of your state’s Lemon
Law, take them to court. Most dealers will try to avoid this.
Regardless, if filing suit is your last option, hiring legal counsel
is strongly recommended. There are many law firms that specialize in
Lemon Law cases.
yes indeed! it's aholes like this that makes me leary of buying cars from individuals. I'd rather just know upfront that it's a problem then negotiate from there!
I would spot that a mile away...lol.
Cars are so cheap nowadays.
heres a tip dont smoke in your vehicles and they wont get like this
Smoking has nothing to do with this.
dude that is why most headliners sag is because of smoking
Try living in the tropics - the headliner sags out right at the rear light. My mkv gti just did the same thing. No smoking. Not saying they can't but you don't need to in the trops.
Don't be a moron smoking has absolutely zero to do with this
It's "anyway." NEVER "anyways." There is NO NEED for the "s" at the end.
Oh yes there is this guy's pissed off he tried to repair it and it looks like it's been tried to be repaired, the dealer is going to spot that sh#t
didn't even really look actually. so it did work... accentually. Wasn't hanging... ended up getting over blue book value in trade for the vehicle. Not pissed... glad it all worked out..
OK, here's an update, I went to Pep Boys and they have corkscrew thumbtacks, problem solved As long as you don't mind the look of thumbtacks
Masking the car that's all you're doing
Indeed... to trade it in to a dealership who will replace it at cost before resale... I get more money for my trade in.... they don't care because they have a budget for car repair on trade ins. I love the people that get mad at this video.... like you wouldn't lie to a car salesman.. hahahaha... that sounds like the begging to a joke or like a grandpa quote. "Lie like a car salesman boy" - GpaPlus all the other fixes out there.... suck... glue or tacks.... wtf.... tape... easy cheap... trade it or not.... I am not replacing the fucking ceiling cloth.... what.... $500-$600... hahahaha.... this cost me $7....P.s. what is your weird suggestion as an alternative to this then?
unethical at heart sadly
+daisy3690 --- Not if you are trading it to dealership, where they will fix it anyway.... ever trade in a car? Have you? Hoping they don't notice things that are wrong with the vehicle... so you get more money for it? Have you ever traded in a car? Do you know what trading a car in is? Honesty? To car dealership?... hmm is like asking them to pay you as little as possible for vehicle as possible... and then have them rape you on the price of your next purchase (as they do). So ya, no, tell them the truth... ethics are a salesman's top priority.. your right.. I am sorry... play kingdom hearts if you want heart stuff... But if you want to not get raped on the price of your vehicle on its trade in value, then fib a bit. Most car dealers, on a trade in will lie to you about the cost of repairing small imperfections with the vehicle you are trading to hopefully gain more on the sale of your newest purchase. This video is to combat salesman that work strictly on commission, and take advantage of the unknowing buyer. If you are the person that tells 100% of truth to the people that only use that against you, then fine. However, I'm sure that you are paying way more things that you shouldn't be.
Oh, thank you so much for responding to my comment. No, I've never traded a car. I give them to family because I think they are worth more than anyone will want to pay. I don't play games since Atari days and glad of it. I drove my blood pressure up with the stress of that (with only one button and one joy stick!!) Anyway, have a nice day and please be well
+technofridge actually no they don't usually fix it even if they know it's a problem, it's usually passed on to the next buyer so he was dishonest by proxy.
I bought a used vehicle with a large hole in the floor. The DEALER had covered it by putting down nice new floor mats. I didn't think of looking under the mats for possible flaws. I found out about the hole when I ran it thru a car wash with a bottom blaster.
One of the qualifications for being a used car salesman is being unethical.
LMAO! that looks like shit, only worse!!
This did not work at all. Do not buy Roberts carpet tape.
what a rubish job... new headliner cost without removal will cost around 50€ including the tissue.... why are you making this stupid repair...
😂😂😂😂🚘🙈🤮🤮🤮
