Thanks, it's been used many times for others and works every time. It's not difficult and doesn't cost much if you DIY but a lot of people are frightened to do it

I was keeping my eye out for a used tourer roof lining, but I was thinking any of them could start sagging soon after.

Re-covering seems to be the way to go I reckon.

Give it a go,. And with a tourer it comes out easier

Yeah my main worry about attempting a recover on my saloon is getting the blinking thing out and back in.

I've just ordered a grey set for my 25 which is in urgent need and a beige set for my 75 (but just in case, at the moment it's still fine).

Thanks for this. My headliniing has just staerted sagging and, although the DIY recover is what I should do, I've not the time or the inclination at the moment.

Just need to decide on colour.

Personally, I'm tempted to try to get a BRG like button to match the outside paint and make it a feature rather than an attempt at disguise.
EDIT - no chance! Did find some in black though.
