Write-up:TT Roadster Headlining fitted, looks good, as per the Stratmosphere website pics>>
A good quality product with good fit and finish. Not sure how much noise reduction or temp insulation improvement there is yet, need to drive more.
The instructions are clear enough and where they appear unclear the solution is usually pretty self explanatory. The instructions are not all that clear on where exactly to attach the various velcro and other little straps.
Care must be taken when removing the exising plastic covers on the frame bows, they could already be cracked and could easily break during removal. These are held in place by minscule panel screws. On removing these take care the screwdriver does not slip and go through the soft top!!!
Installation onto the two front bows is a PITA. These have cloth from the exterior top on them and the fit is extremely tight. You may need to gently use waterpump pliers. To fit the headlining front edge onto the front frame, ensure the roof is halfway open. One thing the instructions do not mention id that it will help to undo one littel screw affixing the plastic cover to the frame in the centre behind the handle. You need a 3.5mm allen wrench for this although its actuallya torx head. there is no space to get a torx bit on rtchet in there. To attach the two littel sidestraps on the front, do this with the roof fully open. Job took about 2.5 hours. For questions email me. Dirk
