The Problem: Why Roof Linings Sag
Most factory roof linings use a foam-backed fabric that degrades over time, especially in Singapore's heat and humidity. Common signs that indicate car roof lining repair may be needed:
| Symptom | Cause |
|---|---|
| Fabric drooping at the edges | Adhesive breakdown from heat exposure |
| Bubbling or rippling | Moisture trapped between foam and fabric |
| Visible stains or yellowing | Age, wear and tear, and sun damage |
| Foam crumbling when touched | Foam degradation (common in cars 5+ years old) |
Good news: All cases are fixable. We assess, quote, and restore most jobs usually within the same day.
Our Roof Lining Restoration Process
See how the restoration is done in our workshop. Watch our roof lining restoration process.
Step 1: Free Assessment & Quote
Bring your vehicle to our workshop or simply send us your car's make and model. As every vehicle is different, from compact hatchbacks to SUVs and MPVs, we provide a tailored quotation based on your vehicle and material selection.
Step 2: Removal & Preparation
We carefully remove the existing roof liner, strip away the old deteriorated foam and adhesive, then prepare the backing board so the new material bonds strongly and lasts.
Step 3: Precision Bonding
Using premium, high-temperature industrial adhesives (formaldehyde-free and proven for Singapore's tropical climate), we bond the new headliner fabric for a smooth, wrinkle-free finish with no bubbles or sagging.
Step 4: Reinstallation & Quality Check
We reinstall the restored roof liner and refit all trim pieces, grab handles, lights and sun visors with care. Every installation undergoes a final inspection for fit, alignment and finish before your vehicle is returned.

Before & After
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a roof liner, roof lining, and headliner?
They're all different names for the same thing — the upholstered fabric covering the interior ceiling of your car. Whether you call it a roof liner, roof lining, or headliner, it's the same restoration service.
Can you match my original factory colour and texture?
We carry a wide range of headliner fabrics in different colours and textures to closely match your vehicle's original interior. While an exact factory match isn't always possible, we always recommend the closest available option.
What if my car has a sunroof?
No problem. We can restore the main roof lining on vehicles with sunroofs. If your sunroof has a removable hardboard panel, we can rewrap that too. However, if your vehicle has a panoramic roof with a retractable roller blind, the blind itself cannot be rewrapped due to its construction.
How long does a roof lining restoration take?
Most roof lining restorations are completed within a day. To minimise your downtime, you also have the option to drive your car after we remove the roof board and return the following day for reinstallation. This allows the adhesive to cure properly and any residual odour to dissipate, while dismantling and installation each take only 1–2 hours.
Do I need to book an appointment?
Yes. We recommend booking an appointment so we can dedicate the necessary time to your vehicle. Walk-ins are welcome but are subject to workshop availability.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes. We provide a 1-year workmanship warranty on all roof lining restorations, giving you added peace of mind. Feel free to ask us for the full warranty details during your visit.
