Sagging Roof Lining

[Hey Jimi]

Hi guys, just noticed the roof lining is sagging in 3spots in a VS wagon.Any quick fixes.?
cheers Jim

no real easy fix. The foam backing crumbles and then it is unstuck and hanging down.

There are many creative methods to stop the lining sitting on your head or your passengers getting covered in orange s***... I used a few saftey pins and bulldog clips and put up with it for 12 months But the only way is to fix it properly. Do yourself a favour, buy some beer, new lining etc and just go and repair it.

There is a good how to here! Thanks COINERS!

Should be easier to remove on a wagon compared to the awkward positions you get into manipulating the bugger out of the sedan

I used that how to guide, my car now has a nice new black suede roof lining. But whatever material you buy make sure it stretches a little, it can be a pain on those edges.

Have a look at this video and see if you could have a go.

SPOTLIGHT For the material, I bought the track suit pants material because were easy to work with, anyway you could have some fun and tried something different. I felt very gay waited in line to buy the material and the women were thinking the same i thought.

Supercheap auto for the spray can glue (Shelly), Bunnings has the crafty spray glue, I think they are not as good. You've probably need 2 - 3 cans and they're around 15 dollars each. It won't be a 100% job but It'll be close.

Just got mine done for $200, nice and easy and saved me the time although looking at the how to videos i probably should've done it myself! lol

 

[axemurderer101]

i paid $70 to get mine done before i sold my vs, you might save some money like i did by pulling the headliner out yourself and clean all the old crumbled foam off so the trimmer only needs to glue the new material on. i was going to do it myself but ended up just driving around without the headliner in the car for about a year and only got it fixed because i was selling the car lol.
