    Audi S2 Coupe ABY coating of the roof comes down, what can I do?

    Hello friends, the platinum coating of the roof of my S2 Coupe ABY is comes down, I already know that is a common problem on S2/RS2 and also Coupe and 80 Avant models. This problem is caused from foam rubber that with the age crumbles and so the coating come down on the heads of rear passengers. Is possible to remake the foam rubber and glue the coating to the roof again?
    Thanks a lot!

        I bought a spray can of fabric glue, soaked the foam in glue and stuck the fabric back on. Cheap fix but its held up fine.

          I tried that on the golf and it only held for a month or so. It's now spot stuck with evo stick. Not pretty but at least I can see out the back window.

            Removal and re-lining is probably the only logical move. Alcantara is an nice option.
            The decomposing rubber/foam bonding material is extremely nasty to remove as it sticks to everything and I found that once the lining has been removed and you start to remove the foam then you can use a little petrol dabbed onto a cloth to break down/remove the remainder of the foam traces from the backing board, to ensure you have a nice, clean surface to re-cover.

              Can I reuse the original underlining fabric tho?
              I don't fancy the aftermarket ones, they don't match with the underlinings on the A/B panels....
