Head lining

Hay ppl any one got any good tips on fitting a new head lining as it seems to be a right pain in the arse, and i dont want to make a hash job of it seen as ive pumped 3k into my car in the last 6 months turning it around.

Not a very easy thing to do hey. I wanted to do it myself and i just read the info and i left it. You need to remove the lining and lay it out. then u need to cut the new material into the shapes then when u done u need to sow all the pieces together. You also need to sow pockets for the metal bar to go through think theres about 6 of them From what i have seen with my car they could change it without removing the windscreen but its better if u do cause u can actually pull the material tighter Good luck!

rockfordgun, im guessing he means fitting a new headlining, as in a headlinign kit.

if so, then its still not much easier than making your own, people reccoment getting one made and fitted by uphoulsters etc as its around the same price. but if your fitting a kit from the likes of newton comemrcial. then its a case of loosly clipping in all the headlining with bulldogs clips to see which way you want to tackle it. then starting at one end pull the material around and bond with contact adhesive, then do the opposite end of the headlining to get some tension, and repeat til its all done, as for the corners this is where it gets hard to avoid wrinkles, ive heard some people head it up and pull it around like vinyl but i didnt do this for mine and ended up with a few creases, check my build thread for a few pics
