Yeah, quite a few suffering from this now as the original glue breaks down through age. Only way around it is to remove the whole headlinging from the car and then remove the material. Get some heavy duty fabric glue or contact adhesive and spray the headliner, then carefully put the material back on, starting on one of the long sides (could possibly put a few staples along the edge too) then go to the other side and spread the material across from the side youv'e just done. Then do the shorter sides, removing any wrinkles or slack. Finally you can do the corners. If done correctly, and with a decent glue, it should last a long time. Hope this helps mate. I do like the sound of all the led's in the roof, that would look cool! Especially cool if at any shows/meets etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Rip it off and start again mate. I did mine a while back. Black suede looks great. Cost like 25 quid. Use a high temp glue like trim fix. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJCivic Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Yeah this started happening to mine a while back as well, no idea how to go about taking it out and gluing back on, sounds a big job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Not a big job. Sunday afternoon you'd have it done. Take all handles off, sun visors. the sunroof trim and interior light. The whole head liner will just pull out through the boot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamrin Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Currently working on this. Got the roof in but haven't taken pictures of the result yet. It's worth it. This is a 430 strand kit (I broke about 10). This is with just the sun backlighting it. About the glue. GET SPRAY GLUE.The 3M automotive headliner stuff works great in my opinion. I tried contact glue before that, but that would just gum up on the surface and saturate the fabric. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
