MIC headliner fell

[LS2GTO]

First issue @ 11 months. Always garaged. Opened door to this surprise yesterday.
I am aware that there is a service bulletin. Dealer says approved method of remedy is 1 try to repair in situ, ,if that doesn’t hold, top is replaced. This dealer is 50% at successful repairs.

Haven’t happened to me yet but I’d say just get a strong glue and stick it back. Like you said dealer may or may not succeed and they might even tell you to leave the car for a week +

Holy crap. What is the service bulletin you reference?

Chewing gum and baling wire is better than whatever modern adhesives Ford has been using this generation

Get some Super 77 and glue it back on.

Sorry to see this.

Any theories? Heat, moisture?

The top isn't replaced. The headliner is replaced. And they're not supposed to reattach it. They're supposed to replace it. That's why the dealer has a 50% failure rate.

My top is cracking, so I guess I'll get a new top regardless.

Clean off the environmentally friendly glue and apply some good toxic fume glue that does have to keep being replaced. Sometimes this environmentally friendly stuff isn’t so friendly when it has to be replaced so often.

Yes perhaps my wording was misleading. The dealer is also aware of the service bulletin. One attempt is made to attach a *new* headliner in situ.…

Good morning! Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this headliner concern? Thank you!
