My roof lining needs a good clean and has also started to sag at the rear.

Remove it all and strip the car out.

there isnt really anything unfortunately as far as i know.

due to the nature of the roof lining, its a foam backed fabric onto the cardboard frame. any attempt in cleaning generally causes the fabric to come unstuck or ripple the fabric.

that's an option i'm considering...

heres another option took 2 hours in all including removal and refitting



how it started








new fabric on





refitted looking mint



went to the local triming place bought 1.5 m of foam backed fabric one can of high strengh spray glue and the results i think speak for them selves well worth 40 quid
would harder with a saff due to needing to remove the window(if you want to do it loz i will help)

mine is sagging really bad in th back, passengers in the back nearly cant see

what would a rough total cost be for somewhere to do this?

escossie560

i had one re covered cost me about Ł 130 that why i tried it my self and tbh im happier with my results for Ł40 the only hard bit was getting the lining back over the cage

craig todd

jacko off here does this, he will be doing mine shortly.

Hiya
Could you tell me what holds the back of the cowling (by the handle) against the lining.

Paul

escossie560

not sure which bit you mean

Its properly gonna be a tight fit but can the head lining not come out between the gap behind the back seats.

escossie560

bit to far to travel ,have a go yourself im no trimmer im a plumber lol

escossie560

it might do but the backing is quite fragile i would be concerned about creasing it, are saff back windows bonded or on seals?

escossie560

do you mean he bit with the sun roof handle if so 2 screews from above in sun roof housing and 2 behind the main light

B16

iTrader: (4)

I know of the two above the interior light after you take light out, i call that the fornt edge. So its the back edge im asking about. Do you mean you have the sunroof open and two screws are there.

Paul

escossie560

yes mate 2 big screws about an inch either side of centre

B16

iTrader: (4)

Ah will have a look tomorrow, but don't remember seeing any screw holes in the cowling.

Paul

lamb chops

wow that does look good.. will have to do mine one day.

escossie560

they go into a metal plate may well have been broken off

escossie560

cheers

B16

iTrader: (4)

Does that mean the metal plate is part of the cowling or the roof. Too late for a pic of yours now the lining is back in I guess?

Paul

escossie560

metal plate is part of the cowling mine was broken had to glue it back on mounts on 4 lugs towards the front
