Default Headliner/A-pillars/Door Panels

Okay I have 3 questions.

Number 1 - My headliner is beginning to annoying me with drooping portions. I was wondering where I can find a new headliner online or if it would be better to get it from BMW or go to an upholstery shop? LOL I've already got frustrated because my sunroof fabric was basically completely off so I ripped it off and scraped the nasty orange glue stuff off so I have a nice clean black panel.


Number 2 - My A-pillar fabric is coming off also and my girlfriend used sewing needles to prop the fabric back to the panel as a temporary solution. I was wondering where I could find either plastic/fiberglass replacement A-pillars or how I could repair this?


Number 3 - My door panels are beginning to come off and I was wondering how would I go about reconnecting them? Is it just a matter of purchasing new ones of those white plastic clips that hold the panel on?

Thanks for the help!

1. You can most likely have you headliner redone for about 175.00 by an upholsterer.

2. You can buy new A pillars from the dealer for about 35.00 each in what ever color you need. Or you can take them off remove the old material and reupholster them yourself.

3. As long as the black portion of the clips havent separated from the doors you can just buy replacement white clips that insert into the hope on the top of the black clip housing. If the black clip housings have separated from the door you can use some type of strong epoxy to reglue them, but make sure you remember how they originally were.
