GTI 2.0L I4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 71,000 miles

Headliner started sagging badly, I assume due to hot weather in AL. Easily the newest car I have ever seen with a failing headliner, and by the time I replaced it (mid-2019) it was failing badly enough that people in the back would have their heads touch it when sitting. The dealer quoted me around $800 but I was able to get it done about half off that elsewhere. According to the forums, this is very common on Mk5 GTI's and seems to be becoming more and more common on early Mk6's.
