Head lining

[quattro estate]

Got a price to have the head lining replaced in the S2 avant with Sun roof for £200
is that reasonable, it will be a closest match to the grey original material.
thanks

That seems very reasonable. Its a pig of a job to do as the foam backing rots, and has to be scraped off the backing board. Make sure they use a high temp glue so it wont sag in hot weather.

Big thanks, I ask the guy if I could remove the sagging sections before he does the job....he said DO not remove that as you well end up with a snow storm off bits from the old sponge...
he has also said he will reshape the drivers seat right side bolster as its dropped with age
cheers

I did my coupe without sunroof recently. Costs about £50 for the new headlining and x2 cans of high temp. adhesive. It can be a pain to remove the trims as they get brittle with age so care is needed. So £150 to cover the labour cost sounds a bargain.

Hi, who did you quote to get the job done and what did you do in the end? Did you do it yourself or get someone to do it?

I would be more then happy .Imagine how much Audi would charge you for new headlining if they where available

When I got my first 100 I checked price and it was £850 And it was NLA ofcourse

Exactly .So if it will be good quality job,£200 is very good price

£200 is cheap, too cheap if you ask me but then again depends on what material is used. I've been looking at foam backed alcantara and that's £120 in material alone.

Just to bring my headlining operations to an end.
the guy removed the old stuff and found some horrific Brown sludge type glue, I helped to remove it from the hard backing and 4hrs later it was ready for the new cloth.

the trimmers put all the parts back and covered in a light grey felt spongy cloth.
and they reshaped the right bulster on the drivers seat.
all done £220 cash paid.
good luck to anybody who tries it themselves.

Sounds good, I need to do this myself on the coupe, do you know which type of glue they used?

[Tom_]

I used Palty glue...But headling need to be done, the rest of is done

[quattro estate]

The glue he used was a high temperature durable glue.

Who did it?

[Airwolf]

Did it to my Roof and door panels with alcantara. Even the a,b,c covers. No problem at all
