does anyone know of a how too on taking the roof lining out as i need to get to the rear gullys on the sun roof as i thinkl the drain pipe has come off and water is pissing into the car. please help.

you need to remove all the plastic trims and panels around the inside of the car that travel to the roof lining to be able to drop it . ie , inner windscreen trims that travel up to the roof , the seatbelt upwards trims , rear inner quater panels by your back seat/parcel shelf area , plastic trim across inside rear of car between rear quarters , sunroof and door rubber trims , all inner roof grab handles/lights etc etc . you get the idea . the roof lining is very easy to damage so be careful !

is this easy to do might give it a go next weekend on my day off, going to get some black fabric and re do the lot!

well i say its easy but i never took the whole thing out. all i did was took the rear trim out and took the door seal off so i could get my hands in to reconnect the drain pipe and install a new arial. but i should imagine it will be easy to take the whole thing out.

think i will be giving this a go at the weekend and re trimming it! dont like the standard 'old mans' colour vw chose to use! thanks dave.

I took mine out had it covered in black felt and refitted it. It's quite easy as long as you are reasonably compenent with a couple of screwdrivers and a socket to remove the seatbelts.

My roof lining is black, looks much better than the crappy cream colour.
