£50!!

Is it just the material sagging, because its relatively easy to re-secure? Just drop it down And apply some decent upholstery glue, leave to dry and Bob's your uncle.

If its the hardened moulded foam backing that's cream-crackered, then you need to replace the whole lot.

Use carpet spray adhesive.

I used a hypdermic needle, syringe and super glue to imrpove some sagging material without taking the lining out....  pikey, but did the trick.

Carpet glue and all the others have not worked in the past for me. Once the summer heat comes it will be sagging again.

The best ive used is fibre glass resin (with activator) and lightly paint brushed on thin layer.

Has not unstuck. Just dont use too much or you will screw up the material.

You also need to remove the yellow foam under the material.

I dont think newton commercial to mk2 headliners but their carpets are spot on :smiley:

GTIs all have charcoal grey, which is a very dark grey - almost black in some lights.

I used to have a CL which had light grey, so make sure you get the right one!
