Repair cost
Headliner replacement cost
What it costs to replace a car's headliner — the full re-cover, not a temporary re-glue — broken down by vehicle type and what drives the price.
The short answer: replacing a car headliner professionally usually costs $200–$800 for most vehicles, rising to $1,500+ for luxury, panoramic-roof, or large vehicles. The price is mostly labor and material — a bigger roof, a sunroof, and premium fabric all push it up.
| Vehicle type | Typical range | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Compact / sedan (no sunroof) | $200–$450 | Smallest roof, simplest trim — usually the quickest job. |
| Sedan with sunroof | $300–$600 | Sunroof opening, shade, and wiring add fitting time. |
| SUV / crossover | $350–$750 | Larger roof and more pillar trim to remove safely. |
| Truck (extended / crew cab) | $250–$650 | Cab size varies; single-cab is cheaper than crew. |
| Minivan / passenger van | $400–$900 | Big roof area, rear climate vents, and more trim. |
| Luxury / panoramic roof | $500–$1,500 | Premium fabric, panoramic glass, and complex electronics. |

How we arrived at these ranges
Last reviewed: July 2026Ranges are compiled from widely-published U.S. automotive-upholstery pricing guidance and typical shop labor rates, then sanity-checked against the labor and materials each job actually requires. They are planning ranges, not quotes, and are not drawn from any specific shop's live pricing.
Real prices vary with your vehicle, region, material choice, and shop. Sunroof-equipped, luxury, and large vehicles trend toward the high end; a compact car with intact board trends low. Always confirm with a shop for your exact vehicle.
