      I seem to remember I had to find a different headlining when I changed from glass to metal roof.

        Ah right, i hadn't even considered that actually. Good point sir!

        Can anyone else remember if this was required? Thanks

          I believe you do in fact need a different headlining and sunroof headlining for metal roof besides the cartridge, this was one of the things which put me off the change.

            Hi

            I’m a regular on classic Audi and was browsing here when I saw this
            I’ve got a Coupe with a metal sunroof in it that’s got the correct roof lining in it that’s not required by me.
            I’m in Fife if that’s useful to you

              Alright mate, thanks for joining the conversation. Ok cool that's good to know, I actually purchased a metal sunroof assembly today but wasn't aware until today that the head lining is different. Typical eh. But yeh I could be interested in the headlining alright

              Is it the lovely beige colour? as looking to keep the same colour scheme. However since it would be coming out, I guess it would be a good time to retrim it. I'm sure it's sagging is it?

              Thanks
              Gordon

                    I've both a metal and glass sunroof fitted in mine using the same headliner and didn't notice any difference.

                      Hmm some conflicting info there. Strange that Andy used the same headling for both types of sunroof. Interesting!! Don't know what to think now??......

                          Has your glass roof got a cloth covered trim panel which slides back to reveal the glass panel?
                          It’s so long ago now that I changed it I’m starting to doubt myself..

                            Headlining is the same, so is the cartridge itself. Pretty much everything else is different.
                            There is a sun shade which slides back that is the same colour as the headliner. I post a pic a while back of all the unique parts after I stripped a complete glass roof that was sadly rotten. I’ll try and find the link

                              Ok so the sun shade is not part of the headliner, sorry gmac
