HOW TO replace headlining - Very detailed

[Youngblood]

looks good, maybe the lining would be easier to stick and do the edges if the logo was flatter as in a thin piece of mdf or something. or do roof lining as normal and glue on white material in logo pattern, then with ultra violet light the logo would light up at night. would look ok, only to the passengers though, no one outside would be able to see it.

Yeah i was gonna do it 2 tone, but in the end i had to think about whether or not it was going to hold up there. Its about half a CM of cardboard, and some foam that makes up the logo. Ive got a few ideas for when i next do it however. When i did this one i ****ed up twice, note for the future, get someone to help.

Very well dun.I have to do this on my son's VN as his is falling down on the top of the windscreen pass side.This is where he has a serious water leak aswell possible by sum to$$pot not re-fitting the windscreen correctly so it's coming out 2.Fixing the headlining was a job I was dreading.I'll fix rust np's, paint it & fix up anything mechanical but the thought of messing around with that pi$$es me off.

just a thought......the plastic velcro clips that go into the mounts that come accross top off the roof, they are what let the cardboard sag, because the velcro gives way, maybe whilst the board is out, throw a couple more velcro clips on to add to the holding strength.

I juss got sum contact adhesive from home hardware.... paint on for the foam and spray on for the material, i didn think it would hold cause it didnt seem too sticky but it hasnt budged (almost a year now). good luck wit it.

I used Selleys Kwik Grip Contact Adhesive. Its very strong, its heat and cold resistant, its about 20 bucks for a litre of so from Bunnings.

Yeah i used qwik grip to glue the foam to the cardboard, but i didnt want to use it to stick the fabric to the foam incase it soaked through. I used nearly 1 can of some **** spray adhesive first and that didnt work, so then i grabbed 2 cans on bostik spray and stick which has worked better, but i can see where it hasnt stuck down in a few places. Alot of the spray on glues seem to be temporary which doesnt really help. I might just have to pull the little bits up that havnt stuck and load them up with lots of glue again
