Title: Roof lining reupholstery?
Post by: scottishpedro on 26 March 2012, 17:29

Hi all

I have a sagging rooflining in my mk2.  I have tried sticking it up but I think it's past it's best!  I have been on the lookout for a replacement with none close enough to travel to thus far.  Question is, has anyone tried removing the rooflining from the car,taking the material off and reupholstering? Could this be a viable repair? I figure if it is knackered and has to be removed anyway,it may be worth trying this?

Thanks in advance

Pedro

3M glue is usually a good bet.

 Material can be bought off ebay or the like, just make sure it's flame retardant.
