1) What specific adhesive to use (brand name or type-spray or thick type)
I used Selleys Heat and Cold Resistant Kwik Dry i think it was called, its lasted over a year now with a massive embroided lion on the roof, i recommend this glue highly. Comes in tins costing about 20 bucks from your local bunnings.
Spray type glues are rubbish.
2) Do the sponge have to be fused with the fabric or first stick the foam and then the fabric. Can I get the foam from Clark Rubber.
Clark Rubber is great, theyve got the exact foam you need, its very thin and quite cheap. Just whack that on the roof cardboard first, then using a small about of glue go over the foam and whack on the fabric.
3)Basically to remove the head cardboard do i have to remove any of the side pillar plastice to free it or a little prod and pull will bring it out.
From memory i removed the seat belts and the pillar plastics because i didnt want to damage anything.
4) Putting the board back does it snap in to place.
You just need to slide it back in, when i say slide it in you will understand it more when you take it out. You slide the board up into the rear plastic underneath your rear window then if youve got someone to help you just ask them to hold the front up while you screw in the sun visors. Then just go around and put the rest of it in.
5) Can I use any fabric and do i need to wash it.
I did this job on the weekend for a friend and he used very thin material, my advice is, aim for a decent thickness fabric, or something with a backing on it so that the glue doesnt seep through the material. If you choose a thin material just be very careful, dont press on the material when applying it to the cardboard as the glue will seep through and dont use to much glue.
Need anymore help just ask.
