Greasy Headliner
Took my car in last week for some warranty repairs at the dealer. Dome light and the OnStar quit working. They called today and said it was ready. Onstar and dome light are working now, but the headliner was all greased up from front to back. Went back in and told the service manager that I couldn't accept the car in that shape. Said he would have it cleaned, but I just don't see all that stuff coming off. I want it back to like new. Am I asking to much?? Think I can make them put in a new liner if they can't get it cleaned up?? Its an 08 with only 10k on the clock.

Others here have posted same greasy hand prints on headliner..
I agree with you, I would want it as it was, before they greased it..
Hope it works out for you..
& it shouldn't matter even if it was a 1958, that still is un-acceptable...

Yeah I'm sure a box of latex gloves don't cost that much. Had to tie the wifey to the seat, she wanted to go let'em have it, but I talked her into giving them a chance. If that don't work I'm going to untie the bulldog.

That's why I was nervous for taking mine in Monday...the headliner was rattling, but it was so annoying in one day of driving, I couldn't take it to Florida like that.... I figured it was worth the prints. Best part, they didn't get any on it! I was happy!
