1 Underbody Shield problem of the 2012 Buick Regal

Failure Date: 03/30/2012

We purchased this vehicle on 7 March 2012 and shortly afterwards I was checking it over and saw that the back of the headliner was hanging down about an inch or so. I took it into the the garage where I purchased the car and they had their repair person check it out. They first tried to use double sided sticky tape and it did not work so they went to the head office of Buick to try to solve the problem. On 10 April I took the car back in and their fix was to stick small magnets to the roof and also to the headliner and then snap the magnets together. I don't know how many magnets they used but the headliner is looking ok for now. I don't know how long this fix will last or if the headliner should have been replaced. Guess we will need to wait and see.
