Mk3 Headliner Recover
« on: 27 August 2010, 14:24 »
Hi Guys

Have had a quick search for a guide to recover the headliner in a Mk3 but nothing came back.

Does anybody know how to do it or a guide please!

Cheers, Mitch

remove stuff

drop the lining

Apply TOP GRADE HEAT RESISTANT AUTO MOTIVE GLUE

apply new fabric.

curse - a lot - you will have wrinkles

unstick yourself from headlining

replace headlining

replace trims you ripped out 5 hours ago and have now forgotten how it goes an with what screws

 :grin: :laugh: :grin: :laugh:

Good Luck

Did this the other day... barrel of laughs. Especially as the missus stood on it and broke it.

Cheers Chuff - will have a go at this soon!

I was thinking of using some 3m Super Adhesive Glue or can you recomend something else?

sadly i didnt get any pics, i think taking it out of the car was the most annoying bit!

I will try and find the guide i used from on here on how to do it!
