Anyone done it? How easy was it? Anyone got any pics of custom jobies?

Ive just ripped mine out as it had a few rips. I then looked at the price of a replacement and wished i hadn’t pulled it all out now lol. I thought about gluing some foam to the roof and then gluing the material to that. Any one got any better ideas.

Thanks George

one thing i have seen done is glueing another material to the headliner. so you could buy a cheapo slightly stained one and either paint it or glue another material to it

why would he want to buy a new one when he as a perfectly good one with a few tears in it?

my suggestion would be to buy some fabric that you like and re-cover it yourself.
just do a good job and try not to cut costs and it wil look fine.

Its hardly 'perfectly good' if its ripped and buying new fabric and either making a new one or covering the old one with be time consuming, possibly costly and it'll be very hard to make look good.

You can buy a new headlining pretty cheap - I think bert998 charges around £55 - But i'm not sure so PM him.

Somebody did that to mine but over the old lining - Then after a couple of hot days the glue melted and it all fell off and hung don like a hamock!

Yup that would be right, just glued onto to the metal surface of the roof.

Thats very nice what guel did you use and where can i get that acoustic carpet. I also like you idea of covering the rear bench in carpet, how easy was that?
