i have taken down my headlining as it was sagging i hand washed the headlining cloth and dried it it looks brand new lol but can someone tell me what do i use to stick it on to the headlining board also the the sticky pad at he roof side of the headling board is no use for sticking it back on what is best for sticking it back onto the roof

 

has anyone done there headlining

 

have done mine but replaced the material and I used some high temp spray glue from ebay and its been fine and to hold the backing back up the roof I used some 3m foam tape

out with the old



and on with the new

 

spray adhesive that carpet fitters use is good stuff

 

matt that looks fooking ace mate..... well done you just got a job to do mine now lol...

is sunroof flocked and visors

 

That looks soooo much better

 

Cheers

yeah all the trims are flocked (Loads of pics in my resto thread) but the sunroof blind was painted satin blacklooks the same so it will do for me

Thanks mate
The only thing is/was that the first time you drive its like the the roof is falling in on you
But after a few mins its fine and now if I was to get another sapph I would do the same again as the grey stuff always looks grubby to me


Guys if you are going to retrim your roof linings then please make sure you High temp spray glue , just think how hot its gets in there during the summer I used normal b&q stuff the 1st time around and just look at the 1st pic I posted it took only a few months to get like that

 

how easy/hard is it to remove the roof lining as mine needs doing

 

Not to bad mate,put the backs of the back seats down and take out through the boot,you can take em out through the doors but its harder work and more risk of damaging the headlining itself

 

Matt - that looks stunning!!!

 

Cheers Andy

 

i think i will be doing this next winter :d
What material did you use, Matt?

 

 

where did you get the material m8 is it foam backed

 

yeah its foam backed

Got my stuff here
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3M-Headlining-...item3ef997b765

If you are going to go for the black lining you will also need to get all the trims flocked think I paid about Ł50 for all my bits
so total cost was about Ł100 for everything and to me it is well worth the money

 

Cool, cheers Matt

 

okay guys i have purchased the same stuff and going to do mine black to
it looks fantastic i will post the pics as i go cheers for the link matt

 

i bought some of that glue to do a head lining. Its a messy job and i noticed in some places the glue didnt stick.

sorry for dragging this thread up . . but were or what did you get the black sunroof suround rubber from . cheeRS

 

Spray it!

 

with what type of paint . wont it flake of

 

I replaced mine with something like this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PVC-Rubber...item5198acc26a

Dont know what size you will need tho but gives you the idea!

 

autoglym do a paint for spraying fabric that will do the job its hardwearing as its designed for carpets

 

Mine has been fine! I done it with 2 coats and its fine!

Its not like your rubbing to make it flake or anything.

 

cheeRS guys ive heard about that auto glym stuff does enybody no how good it is . iam thinking of spraying my roof have heard that you can do it with normall spray but it makes the fabric stiff even though that wouldnt bother me to much as never really stroke it

 

Spray the whole headlining? Im not to sure about that but it might work

Im only taking about the handles and such...

 

yer my mate has just done the whole thing in his a4 looks cool but does feal abit like pubes

 

That how my sunroof cover thingy feels! when you have your hand down your pants as much as me you get use to the feel
