    The roof lining is pretty easy to fix if you want to take the time to do it. Took me about 2 hours (I didn't have anyone to help me get the hoodlining in or out of the car, so had to be more careful not to crease it)
    There's a how to on here which details it step by step...
    HOW TO replace headlining - Very detailed
    I done mine a few months ago, if you want to do it yourself, go to an upholstery shop, buy some foam-backed velour. You'll need 2metres (@$40/mtr) and a can of 3M foam backed spray glue (about $25). Make sure you clean up all the old foam off properly to allow the new stuff to stick... and don't spray the glue on too thick or it'll soak thru to the front of the velour.

    Or go to the local haberdashery shop and buy a pack of pins. They work a treat and cost next to nothing !!

    The problem is that sometimes the pins drop out and onto the seats and guess where next!

    I used thin felt from Spotlight to do mine and no foam...cost about $40 plus $12 for brush-on contact cement.

    It's extremely easy to fix yourself mate... I did mine a few months back, and it cost me maybe $70 all up for material and glue. VSPantha posted the right link.

    My advice is to choose a coolish day as doing this in the blazing sun is hell. Also try and make something to pry under the plastic covers that you must remove to reduce the chance of snapping them. And finally don't try and do it in a hurry because if you do as that increases the chance of stuffing something up. I did mine over a cuppla days and drove the car with no liner for that time. Good Luck.
