How much did you apply to start with? The headliner is still in the car, being held on by the pillars and the sunroof...

Anyone in jhb or pta doing a repair? Otherwise I will replace

It's far better to replace the cloth

Doing the liner yourself shouldn't be difficult at all. The trick with fabric and glue is to let the glue become tacky first before bonding and applying pressure. This prevents seepage through the fabric.

I need to do my headliner as well

I did mine in black suede on the e36, it gets tricky to bond it around the shapes by the sun shields. I used contact spray adhesive and its not easy to do yourself, a second pair of hands is recommended. The c pillars and backboard are simple though, did a headrest and sun blind delete at the same time.

Why did you remove the headrests Gizmo?

 

[KSINGH]

from what i read the process can be difficult. removal from from the car should be ok but the removal of the foam can be a PITA.

Why did you remove the headrests Gizmo?

I like to give my rear passengers whiplash!!
Unnecessary weight as I don't like carrying rear passengers.
