    Hello all,

    I'm after something that can stick not only the roof lining back up, but the wood stuff (I have no idea if it's wood or not, looks like it and feels like it in a way) back up that's under the lining itself. Here's the extend of the roof lining problem:

    As for the 'wood stuff' that's also coming down the best way to describe it is that it's the stuff under the roof lining itself. The lining and 'wood stuff' is only is only falling down at the back of the car where pictured so I don't think replacing it with a new one is even worth it as it can be fixed from what I can tell.

    Forgive me If stuff under the roof lining isn't wood, just looked like it to me :D

    Edit: A picture to better describe it:

    Thanks.

    If it's coming down in one place I'd think it will start to come loose elsewhere soon too. Sticking in back up with kwik grip will work for a while but the foam usually falls apart and won't glue reliably. A bodge that will work until you can be bothered changing it over is to use drawing pins into the cardboard. Auto upholsterer will charge about $150 to put new foam in and glue it all up properly but you'd have to take the lining out and install yourself.

    I'll give the kwik grip thing a shot first, cheers.

    Had a mate check it out today when he came around, apparently I'm missing the trim at the back near the back window that holds it all up (I didn't even notice) which is causing it to fall. Make sense because that is where it's falling from.
