I have searched and search trying to locate someone who can fix this problem. I tried looking for the part on Honda's website with no luck. Each time I drive with the windows down, the headliner comes down a little more. I have tried the adhesive which held for approximately 3 days, then it started coming down even more. It is so unsightly to have this material hanging in the back where my grand-daughter has to sit. Please help me located someone in the Richmond, VA area who can fix this thing outside of the dealership which will charge me an arm and a leg or two.

Same issue as everyone else...fabric on visors started to disintegrate, even on the passenger side which is never used. Recently the Headliner started to come down, started in the rear and now the front coming down as well.

Headliner badly fitted in the factory. Not picked up at PDI but I spotted it the next day. Took it back to the dealer who sorted it within 48 hrs - new liner fitted. Dealer told me they hadadded this item to their checklist and had reported 2 others to Honda.

The headliner has completely separated from the ceiling in the rear of the car and it is falling down in the front of the car as well. The fabric over the visors is also coming off. The material underneath the fabric is this thin yellow stuff and it manages to get on everything in the car.

Really curious if there was any recalls on the glue???? It's really ghetto to have your interior look horrible, particularly when the car runs well.

I bought the car drove it 2 months and during a hot day with the windows down the headliner blew loose. I replaced the headliner and will have to replace sun visors because they are falling apart. I owned a Japanese Honda 1988 Honda Civic Dx Hatchback-loved that car. I now own an American made Honda Civic Lx 4dr Sedan and it doesn't even compare to the other car. You can tell a huge difference in the tightness of the car. I wish I still could drive my old one. I'm now having dash lights that go on and off at a tap of the cover. Not a fan of American made Honda's. Sorry!

After logging in to this site to register my complaint about my transmission failure I starting exploring more issues with my vehicle... Low and behold, I am not the only one whose headliner has sagged and fallen along the back window. Additionally, the sun visors have little holes (which are quickly becoming bigger holes!) and the material on them all but disintegrates when I touch them. Alright, I'm off to another section to complain, just look for me! I'm the one who had sung Honda's praises to anybody who will listen but will probably never buy another... What an expensive disappointment!

No one believes me when I tell them that my 2001 HONDA is falling apart. But the worst is the recent headliner fabric that is falling down in the back mostly, and now in the front. They must have put this car together with Elmer's craft glue. I am still driving it around not fixed...

My car looks like crap with all the glue coming off on the roof and the doors. I've seen civics in southern Cal that look much worse. I'm debating whether to tear off the headliner or replace it myself.

Right now it's falling down at the back near the rear window about an inch worth is coming away. It started as a small piece but continues to slowly grow, especially if I drive with the windows down... and in southern California the weather almost always allows for windows-down driving.
I can't wait to relive the days when I was 16 driving my first piece of crap car that had a sagging ceiling held up by bobby pins... Only now I'm an adult and this car is only 7 years old.
Taking the car to the mechanic tomorrow for some other issue (check engine light is on).

My headliner is falling down above the rear window, and I have air bubbles several places under the headliner on the ceiling. The material on my sun visors is disintegrating and leaving what looks like moth holes. I�ve tried gluing, but the material is so thin and dried out you can�t even handle it without having it crumble apart in your hands.

I still owe a grip on this POS Honda and its already falling apart on me inside out. I've only had this 01 civic for 2 1/2 years. Its ridiculous, I regret ever buying a Honda or listening to anyone who ever said hondas are good cars. Ha i laugh! The back headliner is falling apart its so retarded. The visors have fallen apart, the mirrors fell out. The ac vent switch thing that directs to air has fallen off. hondas are piece of sh*ts!!

I noticed the headliner drooping in the back window where exposed to the sun. Tried unsuccessfully to glue it - there isn't enough material to reattach.

Headliner fabric has deteriorated above front and rear windows where exposed to sun/heat. The thin foam under the fabric decomposes and causes the fabric to separate and hang down. Sun-visor fabric has holes (looking like moth-eaten material )on side exposed to sun when visor is down.

I give a wave to other Civic drivers whose headliner sags...I'm still waiting for someone to wave back. I noticed it one day as I was driving on the highway with the windows open and it caught my flapping around in the rear view mirror. WTF? what is this? a '76 Malibu? I didn't realize headliners were still an issue. What can I say, I bought the car new and I swear to everyone that it's great...but it's not. Look for my other posts, like the one that's possibly going to make me $3,000 dollars poorer. I think you all know what I'm talking about. F'd up.

It's one thing to save money on producing the cars, but it's another to make them cheaply made. I wasn't too fond the hard plastic they use on the dashboard and glove compartment, but I had gotten over it. Anyway, the headliner is getting worse. Any suggestion on fixing it w/o putting a putting a bullet through my wallet? Oh and my side door liner is bubbling. -__- not cool.

The headliner is falling down at the front of the ceiling right before the moonroof as well as the very back right by the rear windshield. I've tried glue, glue sticks, hot glue and super glue to no avail. This was a poor design. Honda, I wish you had glued this better, now my roof looks very silly and it is frankly just annoying.

I never had a car before that the liner fell off especially when i only have a little over 29,000 mile,s. I got a price on the liner for over $500 and that doesn't include labor. The labor is around another $500. I call Honda and they said they didn't have any complaint's and then i call Auto Fair in Manchester NH and they said the car was old. I had much older car than this one and that never happened. The material Honda use is very thin and cheap and this will happen to other car soon.

The headliner is falling apart right above the NEW sun visors I had to buy off e-bay because they fell apart too!!! I'm putting too much money into this car. The sun visors were flopping, had holes in them, and when I flipped them down the mirrors slid out because the glue didn't hold them in. I tried to glue the headliner using Krazy Glue, but it only held for a day or so until it fell down again!
