Headlining..
« on: 17 May 2012, 22:21 »
Ok so im doing my headlining and pillars a different colour, just went and ordered the material tonight, black suede :cool:

But I just wondered how I would go about doing the door seals?  :undecided:

Is it possible to re upholster then or not?  :huh:

Any help or advise much appreciated!

Cheers, Hoggy.

I used some fake leather on my mk3 headliner, the back half went on a treat but the front?? a royal pain in the arse, I had a sunroof but the worse part was the grab hadle and sunroof recesses. There was no stretch whatsoever, horrible job. You might have better luck though, who knows?  :nerd:

Yea im not using fake leather, too think and no give. The black suede has plenty of give and stretch so shouldn't be an issue with recceses, plus, no sunroof :cool:
