Sapphire headlining replacement
Anyone know how to replace the headlining in a sapphire Cosworth, mines saggy so looking at getting a refurbished one. But it seems like the only way is either to remove the windscreen or rear window to slide it out is this the correct way?

It will come out of the door but you'll have to bend it, I took the windscreen out.
Also bought the material and had a go myself but although it looked ok it wasn't good enough so have dropped it at the trimmers, having it done in a dark alcantara along with the two rear panels

Remove the c pillars,Jesus handles,sunroof seal,interior light console and it will drop down once you tease back the door seals.
It then comes out the boot.
I bought material and I'm halfway through doing it myself,the material and glue is around Ł90 and is spot on for a match.
I'll post up the company details later once I find the receipt.

No bother.
My son is off school I'll today so since I'm stuck inside I'm going to bring the headlining inside and tackle it today.
The side panels took about 5 hours to get all the glue and foam backing off.
Not even looked at removing the foam from the headlining,might leave it if it's well stuck.

Come out the boot easy with the seats down had mine done in black along with the rear pillar trims. Painted all the other bits with black trim paint looks a million times better

It makes the interior look new again and well worth doing. I cleaned all the other interior cloth trim parts at the same time as its suprising how dirty they looked compared to the new headlining.

I've been wanting to do mine black but all the trims need changing has put me off did you paint all of yours including the sunroof blind? Also what did you do about the rubber seal around the sunroof?
Looks fantastic though!

Think this might be the one

Not 100% sure but it was from this company - just message them to check.
The material was enough to do 2 roofs and I've got enough spare after doing mine that I'd happily part with for a few beers if anyone is local and in need.
As already said, comes out through the boot no drama.
The whole job is a bit of a faff but very satisfying to complete.

I have just replaced my headlining but not fitted yet, I also removed the sunroof cassette to clean the blind as it was really dirty, but have just fitted the sunroof cassette back in and was wondering about the headlining inner seal does it fit under the sunroof cassette or in front etc that runs along the inside of the sunroof area and also holds the headlining in place?

it’s been a few since I’ve owned my sapphire and I did get the headlining re-trimmed along with the c pillars but can’t remember how the seat belt is removed from the c pillar but I know it does come out some how, unbolting it some how is how it’s done, if you can post up some pics to refresh my memory it would help
As said above on the thread it is a bit of a faff job but worth it in the end, the tricky/hard bit was removing the sunroof from the car in order to remove the sliding visor beneath the glass as mine was absolutely grotty, when removing the sunroof be sure to cover the surrounding areas on the roof panel with tape in order to stop damaging the paint work and leave tape in place when doing the re-fit I had the much needed help from a fellow member who knew what he was doing when we done mine
black does look very nice but I didn’t fancy doing the painting on the interior bits and bobs so I opted to leave mine grey, my head lining panel was removed and re-fitted through the boot
