Hyundai Headliner for Sale in South Africa

Trim level drives almost everything inside a Hyundai — seat fabric, console mouldings and switchgear all differ between base and Elite or Executive derivatives of the same car. In practice the decision in front of you is whether to match the original trim exactly or accept a serviceable equivalent from a different derivative.

The trim level, the interior colour, and whether the car has leather or cloth. With that we can usually confirm the right part the same day, and we will tell you whether we are quoting new, aftermarket or good used stock rather than leaving you to guess.

A full retrim through an SA auto-upholsterer typically runs R2,600-R6,200 depending on panel size and fabric choice. A used headliner through Pro Hyundai Spares costs less, but matching colour and condition is the challenge.

The proper fix is dropping the panel, stripping the old fabric and foam and bonding new material with high-temp trim adhesive. Pins and tacks are a short-term trick that leaves visible dots and rarely outlasts one summer.

The factory polyurethane foam between fabric and roof board breaks down after 10-15 years of heat and UV. SA summers, black cars and cars parked outside accelerate it. The foam turns to dust, so the fabric has nothing to hold onto.

Small sags near edges respond to careful re-gluing with 3M Super 77 or similar. Large central sags almost always need a full retrim, because the foam layer itself is gone and glue alone will not hold the weight.

Pro Hyundai Spares sources used headliners for the Accent, Sonata, Elantra and Creta. Most owners end up at a local trim shop for a retrim instead. Send us your VIN and we will quote both options side by side.
