That looks a very professional looking finish, very impressed. A very expensive job to have done by a professional firm.

Thanks

The cost was actually under £50, including a set of eBay trim removal tools for about £5. Oh and around 3 hrs, going really easy as it was a nice day and I wanted to be sure the material wouldn’t flop down again when installed. The match was good, you wouldn’t know it had been replaced by the colour! I guess a hatch is easier than a saloon to get the roof panel out of though!

I have three ZT-T's that need doing if you fancy going into business.

Excellent how-to. Think I will give it a go. What could possibly go wrong!

Going to have to sort mine at some point. Only sagging in a couple of places so might try pinning to begin with. Want something that’s discreet and easy to do ideally.

May just bodge it until next summer and do a proper job outside on a sunny day. Has anyone tried getting the headlining board out of a saloon? Doesn’t seem an obvious route out of the car with it.
