Headliner Repair Mk2 GTI
« on: 26 September 2010, 07:16 »
The headliner is shot on my Mk2. The vinyl feels pretty bad. I am planning to drop the headliner and replace the material. I am not suew what material to get to replace the vinyl. Any suggestions warmly welcomed.

Thanks

Go to a Drapers shop.  But some nice material and hot glue it on.
