Default So what to do Easter Sunday afternoon.

Well I decided to change my sagging headlining for a nice replacement unit.

From this

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.

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

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

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....

Hi Paul.

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

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
