Might want to contact Seatco in Bailey's Crossroads.

I've used Joe's Upholstry in Frederick in the past. A bit of a drive from DC, but they do very nice quality work for a lot less $ than the DC area shops.

Do you know about how much $ it would be to fix a sagging headliner? The bmw's is sagging, but its not terrible yet.

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations. I'm going to give each one a call and see what they say. Tysons Corner Jaguar also recommended a shop, and that dealership has taken very good care of me and my car to date.

As a horse enthusiast, I especially enjoyed the photo of the viceroy on Joe's Upholstery's Website. (Not to mention the Honda S2K, since I used to have one.)

In my experience, the job takes about 2-3 hours plus around $100 in materials. Which is why I did them myself.

As it turns out, the collision repair shop that fixed my Jag over a month ago chipped the little triangular window along the passenger C-pillar. The part alone is nearly $1,100. (I always say, it's not the purchase, it's the upkeep!)

The repair center doesn't want to eat that much money. So I've proposed a trade for some additional repairs/body work...including replacing the headliner. This may work out quite well!

UPDATE

Repair shop wouldn't bite on the exchange offer.

Quotes around town are $375 - $410 for replacement, but a couple of shops said they will only replace the sagging section. That seems illogical.

A decision will be made today and I'll update after the work is completed FYI.

FWIW, I pulled the headliner 'shell' out of my car and had Seatco recover it. Saved a bit of $ that way, and was easy to do on that particular car.

Crazy Rays up near Baltimore has lots of Jag sedans and coups in their yard (the last time I was there) http://crazyraysautoparts.com/ Looked like most had mechanical not collision issues.

Crazy Ray's is a freaking racket. They charge to get on the damb lot, then whatever you scrounge is still expensive. Plus, a headliner that has sat in their lot will be FUBAR for sure. I have gone and climbed around a couple of times looking for Toyota Pickup parts and left disgruntled both times. You may catch lightning in a jar, but I would not travel from VA to visit that hole.
