Roof lining
« on: 14 March 2012, 11:02 »
Hi dudes,

The head lining on the interior of the my mk3 golf is starting to sag at the back and come away at the front so it needs replacing. My missus still has about 5m of black vinyl left over from the retrim of her mk1 golf and I was thinking of using the leftovers to do the head lining.

Will vinyl be suitable for the job or is it too heavy? Am I better of just getting some black fabric instead? What adhesive would be best to use?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
