Headlining

operamagorum · 23rd July 2020, 09:02

Hi all
My headlining recently decided to fall onto my dogs' heads in the luggage compartment (tourer)
I have, for the moment, stapled it which is unsightly.
I got a quote from a local trimming company for £450, which I feel is OTT - I've bought cars for less, and still could!
Anyone know of a company that is more realistic on price or, perhaps, a member that offers this service?
Thanks
Geoff

Cheaper to get a replacement from a scrap yard.

Second hand head linings are only a fraction of the figure you were quoted. All you need is something big enough to collect it in and an afternoon to do the swap over.

Why not re trim it yourself, it’s not that difficult to do.

I’ve re trimmed a few cars including a 75.

I'd love to but health, and the car being outside, prevents
Thanks anyway
