How the fcuk did you get the headlining not to like it was all folded on itself round the handle and light areas? I made a mess of mine!  :sad:

Looks spot on really liking the inside of that  :cool:

my first attempt was a real cock up, but the material was to thick and the spray glue i used was crap. i changed the type of material i used, i got mine from www.fabric-online.co.uk and changed the glue to wickes contact adhesive and that made it a lot easier, although i still couldnt get the front part right, where the lamp is i kept getting loads of slack. ended up having to cut a slit in the material which fortunately you cant see as it faces away from you.

cheers mate, just need to get round to ordering the passenger harness and it'll be sorted for the time being

adhesive comes in a tin with a scraper, i used a mix of the scraper and a brush

done a lil bit at a time and took my time about it, makes a big difference using contact adhesive and thinner slightly stretchy material

As said before your headlining looks really good,

didnt think to cut and shut mine, but then again my fabric is patterned which was a bad idea  :rolleyes:
