Did this at the weekend, would never have even attempted it (or thought about it) if it wasn't for this guide.
Thanks very much, great thread and guide.

Only picked up my latest project on Friday.. 1990 Royal Blue 3 dr 16v. Lovely car but roof lining appears to have shrunk. May well consider doing this sometime. Great Forum and full of info.

Cheers

Unfortunately, I need to sell my 1990 16V so I've got my acoustic carpet and 3 cans of trim fix.  I plan to do it this weekend.  Wish me luck and a big thank you to Pedro and the rest of you guys for the great tips.

Pedro - how thick is the acoustic carpet?

Currently deciding whether to replace the lining, or attempt to reuse the existing vinyl covering

Be aware that the spray glue you need to use is high temp variety, if using duct tape for any repairs, this may not stick once temp gets high inside the car, and you may get some sagging where it’s used
