new 1g eclipse owner w/ SAGging ROOF!!!

I just bought a 1990 eclipse with a saggy interior roof and its driving me crazy!

I bought a can of adhesive spray that is suppose to fix the problem, but I can't seem to get the cover off of the automatic seat belt railing to take a peek inside.

Anybody know how to take the darn cover off the railling, Please help!

hate to tell you this but just spraying adhesive up there will only last for a couple days. to redo it you have to take the whole headliner down and wirebrush/sand the crappy old foam off before you reglue the fabric

you dont want to sand it. just use a wire brush and get all the old foam off. you also dont want to use the same old headliner.

My Oldsmobile has the same thing. TOok it to a little tiny shop where all he does is linens and things for cars. Going to charge $150 to do the whole top. Not my car anymore, so I aint paying. Find little places... theyll do it.

Here is a how to bud. Hope it helps. I know that it doesnt cover the auto-seat belt but the rest of the info is good.

Thanks for your response, but $150 is a little too much just to fix a head liner. I'm able, so this is something I rather do myself..

Thanks again!

Thanks a bunch. That link is going to help a lot, but I still need to figure out how to take out the auto seat belt cover.

I just changed the speakers in the car and I took ALL the panels out fine, but just can't figure this one out. Somebody HELP please!

p.s. I never expected so many responses, so thank you everybody for your time and I hope there is somebody out there who knows the trick to take out the cover for the auto seat belts. I'm out.

Just pull hard. There are little plastic nubs on there that are in holes. All you have to do is take one end at a time and pull each one out. There are like 3-4 of them I think.

I took mine off when I painted my interior, but I don't have the car anymore so I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about.

Thats actually what I thought, but didn't want to attempt and then break the plastic and not be able to put it back. Thanks alot!

Ahh.. don't you just love DSMs? My interior light fell out after I went over some train tracks.
