Mk2 golf gti 5dr headlining with sunroof
« on: 22 June 2016, 16:11 »
I'm looking for a headlining for a mk2 gti 5dr with sunroof. I know they are hard to find nowadays! If not, any ideas of what to use as a good replacement?
Thanks in advance

Hi lemski, thanks for quick reply! The thing is I need a headlining to begin with, recently bought another mk2 and the chap who had it before me chucked the headlining because it snapped! I would like an original headlining, if not then something similar would work
Thanks again

Ah, thanks! I'll check them out see if they have one. They do tend to break too easily.

If you have the pieces and relign the rooflining it strengthens it back up. Some people fibre class the back where it breaks.
I used masking tape and extra spray gluewhere the crackd were

Ah really? That's a good idea! The cosmetic look isn't too important as I am probably going to cover it with a pattern or picture to make it look a bit different anyway.
