headliner re trimming ?
« on: 05 July 2010, 23:25 »
If i wanted to re-trim my head liner with a material how would i go about doing this can you just take it out spray a fabric glue on and just put the new material on it?

If so is there a guide on here on how to remove the headlining, pilers etc?

Thanks

spray on contact glue is the best stuff to use.

rear lights, sorted just need guides for front light non-sunroof, grab handles but think they well be simple same as the sunvisors. its the removal of the the head lining and pilers i think well be a pain.
