English term or phrase: Upholsterer
Bonjour,

savez-vous si le métier de "upholsterer", lorsqu'il s'agit du milieu de l'automobile, peut se traduire par "rembourreur" ?
Dans mon texte, c'est lui qui s'occupe de refaire le "headliner" ainsi que les "door panel".

sellier
Explanation:
Well, the various kinds of upholstery found in a car are usually referred to as 'sellerie', I believe, so I'd assume this is the term for the person.

(NB: in general, it wouldn't be a 'rembourreur' I don't think, but more likely a 'tapissier')
