Alcantara headliner re-trim

Hey guys! So I got an alcantara headliner re-trim, as of summer 2020 apparently on the X5 if you order an alcantara headliner you get a black cloth panoramic roof cover. (It's what the dealer told me when I ordered). Here's some pics of the finished job, very happy with it

Looks great. It's the way it should still come from the factory. But the bean counters they hired from GM years ago had to justify their lucrative salaries by eliminating things.

Thats just a beautiful combo with the beautiful seats.

Congrats man, looks amazing. I really want to do my roof in either black or familiar to my cong seat colors but afraid of having a shop ruin the install or break tabs causing creeks after.

I've noticed the Alcantara is like suede. The pillars in front are covered with it and when you touch it, it leaves finger impressions I wonder if foot prints will show up on the headlinger
I have a kit for suede shoes which essentially is a brush and wondered if I could use it to get rid of the finger impressions etc....

My friend actual did this himself on his mustang, said it wasn't that difficult. But when the car came I broke my leg unfortunately, and wanted to have it ready for when I got back into action.

If you do do it yourself he said the key is patience! Best of luck with it!

If ordered from a US dealer, they will still come with the warning labels.
I believe if you order them from a dealer in Germany, and possibly some other euro countries, then they would be label free.

If they're leather you could try this:



But I think the best thing to do would be to take to to a retrimmer. Worst case they can re trim it in the same material.
