Title: Trim covering..
Post by: tech1889 on 02 December 2010, 21:56

Have bought some a / b / c pillars for my mk4 golf and want to cover them in a black suede style material.. two questions..

- what glue to use ??

- what material to use as i no it has to be plastic backed so glue doesn't seep through ??

Cheers guys..

if you buy a high temp spray adhesive it'll work and wont require the material to be plastic backed as it wont seep through. If you use brush on it'll definitely seep through and you'll use loads as it absorbs.

yeah but wouldn't know where you (personally) would get it from. I buy it in 10+ meter rolls but its the same as you're current headliner, but black. I could supply you with the material and the glue if you dont have any luck getting it anywhere else.
Or if being proper lazy, I'll do it all for you!

3 or 5 door? C-pillars can be a pain due to that compound curve where it meets the window on a 3 door. I'll pm you details.

yeah the b and c pillars are different due to one having a rear window and the other having a rear door!
