How much does it cost to replace a vehicle headliner?
There is more than one way to replace a vehicle’s headliner. If you have a very common, high-volume, older car, such as a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Accord, there is likely to be an aftermarket headliner kit available at a moderate cost that can be used as the replacement part. The cost will depend on how many of these cars were built, how often the headliners ended up failing, and how many suppliers opted to manufacture the needed kit. If you luck out, the cost could be in the low hundreds for the kit. The labor will be a half-day or so, likely billed at between $75 and $150 per hour.
If you need to use a “factory” kit supplied by your vehicle’s dealer network, you are going to pay a lot more for the parts. The upside will be that the headliner will be a perfect match. This may be an option for those who have a very good condition vehicle but that for some reason has a bad headliner.
Another factor in the cost of replacing a headliner is the material the manufacturer used to create it. Suppose it is a modern and fancy Alcantara or Ultrasuede microfiber textile. In that case, the cost may be higher than if it is the generic “mouse fur” that affordable cars usually come with.
How much trim the headliner has will also be a factor. In an older, smaller car with no moonroof, the shell is basically one large piece to install with trim around the outer edge and the dome light. If your car has multiple moonroofs, a panoramic moonroof, or ceiling-mounted speakers, expect the installation cost to go up significantly.
Car Talk scoured the world wide web to find example prices for headliner replacements and found that, for the most part, they are under $1,000, and repairs can be much lower in cost. However, if you have a fancy car with all the roof trim challenges we pointed out above, the cost can rise to multiple thousands of dollars.
