yeah you can screw them back in, the holes are in the roof supports, not the roof lining itself, your gonna roast in the heat though and freeze in the cold, only takes a couple hours to do, plan it for a sunday, get all the needed materials and use the tips I posted for the easiest and hassle free way of doin it. cheers

wow $20 for that haha niceniss what if my roof lining is not commy off can i still do it?
Of course you can, but I would not bother doing it until it starts to sag.
It seems the guy in charge of doing the headliners at holden had a few on- off days between 1988 to 1997 ha:rofl:

Mine hasn't started to sag at all, but I'm going to redo mine with the thinner material for my next light project

I`m going to do mine soon and I`ll first gather what I need, I`ll go with the sellys quick grip or permatex (if I can buy it in my small town) for glue as it seems trial and error has made this the go.

I`m going to use a fake leather material so I should be able to use liberal amounts of glue without it soaking through the material, I`ll test on a small area off an off-cut first.

So foam, should I bother?

if it is sagging and touching your head and ****ing you off, just use thumb tacks till you can get all the stuff to fix it properly yourself.
