If i wanted to re-trim my head liner with a material how would i go about doing this can you just take it out spray a fabric glue on and just put the new material on it?
If so is there a guide on here on how to remove the headlining, pilers etc?
Thanks

spray on contact glue is the best stuff to use.

Nice, do you know of any guides for the pillars and headlining removal ? and any recommendations on were to get the Glue from? ebay, halFrauds etc
-
rear lights, sorted just need guides for front light non-sunroof, grab handles but think they well be simple same as the sunvisors. its the removal of the the head lining and pilers i think well be a pain.

I want to do this but how would you deal with the 10mm or so of beige fabric on the door seal?

I am going to re fabric the headlining and pilers, and i was just going to remove the strips from round the door frames and spray them black [may have to re trim them if the fabric sprays not good] and spray the plastics a mat black grab handles, centre light etc.
What glue did you use ? just so i keep away from it :grin: lol
-
not what i used, but is recommended by other who have done their rooflining elsewhere

when i put the material on do i have to strip the roof down [but then would lose the foam] or can i just past it on and rub it on ?
-
??? anyone
-
i left the foam on mine, just covered it with the material, but i have read some people have striped it back to the backing. i didnt want to risk killing the headliner.
