Pushbutton_auto

sorry to harp on,

On a closer (& messier) inspection, I do have a liner between roof and material. How come no one mentioned stapling (industrial size) looks to be room and they should be covered by the rubber moulding ?

Also, following the roof back from windscreen the roof material seems to have really solid padding till the last two feet where the liner sags its hollow or much less. Has the padding been scraped out or what, how thick is the foam layer ? (PO is a little vague on his attempts)

Just been looking at the jap import 100 and its roof seems to be, not a fabric and it has a much more solid feel.


Darn, that foam is a pain.

I can see things getting really messy soon, hope my faith (LION RED) gets me thru.

is simply use pushpins(tacks) and paint the heads the color of the headliner. Worked fine and is simple to do. This has held my bro's 5000 headliner up for 3+ years. If you do it right it looks fine since teh tacks have a flat head.

I R&R'D my headliner with a used one before and it was a huge PITA. If I ever have to do it again, I 'd simply put in a vinyl one from a early 84 or 85 5000.

BTW, for what it's worth every 500 or 200 I've pulled a headliner out of didn't have any rubber liner between the roof and the headliner.

The rubber is attached to the headliner, and with age it crumbles and lets the fabric sag. I have glued it on my sunroof after taking it all apart and it looks bad, but is tight and in place. There are complete instructions in the archives on R&R for doing it correctly.

Pushbutton_auto

is the bit that fits over the end, the moulding bit.

sorry.

Thought of tacks as well.

Gonna pull the 100 one anyhow, part of the movement of all the 100s off d property (re Missus, if you buy that 200 then you will have to get rid of .............)
