Anyone know where I can get the headliner material for 9N3?

Hi Guys,

I really like the headlining material on the 9N3. Its a stitch cloth with foam backing. Anyone know where I can order some for a DIY job I am going to do for my other car? It has to be the same material. Thanks.

Alex

No scrap yards near you?
It's probably the same stuff as in mk4 Golfs etc.

Hi Beezer,

You have a 9n3 so I am sure you know what material I am talking about. Its for a BMW that I have and its headliner needs changing. I really like the headliner on the 9n3 and hence I need to get new materials that they sell by the yard. If anyone can link me to a site selling new headliner cloth and its close to or even the same as the 9n3 polo headlining material, that will be great. Thanks.

As far as I can tell the headliner in nearly all modern cars is a moulded part. Can you not just get some quality cloth via an auto re-trimmer locally and get them to professionally stick it to the BMWs existing headlining?
I've had a look on google and can't find anybody that sells the stuff online.

I prefer the polo style headlining fabric. Its not like the one I currently have which is slightly furry. I prefer the cloth like texture. Its clean. I suppose I can check with my dealership to see if they sell the replacement headliner. But the problem is that it is cut to shape. It may not fit my BMW.
