So what to do Easter Sunday afternoon.
 
Well I decided to change my sagging headlining for a nice replacement unit.

5 hours all in but well worth the effort for the change and a very nice way to spend the afternoon in the sun.

Full details in my resto thread if anyone is interested

Shout out to Paul/Sonic for supplying such a good headlining as a replacement.

Well done, its not a difficult job (As you know) But time consuming, well worth the effort though.

:D I know what you mean mate. Not exactly the toughest job on the tool box. I think 8 bolts and 16 screws but anything plastic and clip with these cars is so brittle you expect it to break when stripping down.

Still all done:D

Well done Jon, very impressive and glad it's found a good home :}

Annoyingly, I removed and restuck the one in the Tourer back in the winter (cold, damp day unfortunately...) and it's just starting to sag again only about 4 months later in the heat :mad:

Not sure if it was the type of glue, or whether I didn't use enough (was worried it'd seep through), but looks like it'll all be coming out yet again....:duh::duh:

Hi Paul.

Cheers for the kind words and the superb lining. My hands were so clean when fitting:D:D:}

I have retrimmed these sort of panels before (Jag and Rover) and I have always used a specific glue which takes the temp changes the roof tends to get.

Normal spray impact adhesive can't take the range in temps

I think woollies sell it. I will check.

Yer tis mate. This is the stuff I have used in the past
