I wish to clean the headliner on my 1990 745 as it has several dirty marks on it, presumably caused by big items that have been carried in the load area. Apart from the dirt, the actual material is in really good condition.

I have heard and seen all sorts of horror stories about sagging and torn headliners on 740s (Sometimes caused by cleaning them), and although I would like a clean headliner, I also would like an intact one!!! As I am British, I don't have the luxury of IPD, etc. to fall back on for a replacement if the original does get damaged :(

Can any of you good folk give me a defintive answer to how to make 740 headliners clean with the least possible damage and grief? Would dry cleaning fluid or something like STP 'Tuff Stuff' foam work?

Thanks for your time!
