You can get new roof linings through Coventrys - we have recently replaced ours - They are basically just cardboard with a foam and material. Easy to take out and replace! Or take out and try to glue - although they can be messy - I actually used drawings pins in mine until I could afford to replace it. It looked a bit like studded upholstery! But kept the lining up.

How much did that cost you Marg as I only have my cardboard up no upholstery?

It was around the $160.00 to get the hoodlining. Fitting wasn't hard. You may be able to take the cardboard out and cover it yourself. Its done with a foamlined material. The cardboard has all the cutouts for the interior lights etc. Good luck......

just had my VS wagon done for $240 by upholsterer in Bathurst
there is info in the forum @ www.bhshangout.com/pete/roof/roof.html
MAKE sure you use heat resisant glue, not just the ordinary Kwik grip
