Hey peoples

Long story but I have to get the roof lining replaced in my VE SSV. Have been told the only way the lining can be replaced is my removing the rear window, to remove the rear window you have to destroy the rubber around it and you can't buy a genuine replacement rubber you have to buy a whole new rear glass with the rubber attached.

Does anyone know how to replace the roof lining or have actually done it in a VE?

Is there a way to do it without removing the rear window?

Cheers guys

lets here the story, a squid sprayed ink on the roof lining ? hail damage pdr guy needs access ... you rolled it and got blood on the roof ?
My mate once rolled his car on the way home from pizza hut and had a round pizza stain on the roof for ever after.

anyway, no idea how to do it, sorry. Talk to an auto trimmer see what they suggest.

Wow, great info Ricey. :thumbsup:
What ever would we do without you? :)

Sounds a bit fiddly but at least it doesn't involve removing the rear windscreen!
