Roof lining sticky pad

[shaun5]

Ive looked through previous threads but cant find the answer to my question
Im gunna be fitting my dark roof lining soon but cant find anywhere that sells a big double sided sticky pad! It looks like quite a few people have removed there roof linings, just wondered how you managed to re stick it? Did anyone manage to source a pad? You can get them from Audi but you have got to buy 10 and that makes it expensive (£90 i think) Any advice or links would be much appriciated

I just used a load of 1mm thick numberplate mounting pads

Hell if i do that i will have to use hundreds Mines a non sunroof model so i think the sticky pad is even bigger than a sunroof model? Would it be wise to use spay adhesive as well as sticky pads?

Were you able to remove your roof lining in one piece? If so how?

[shaun5]

i havent removed it yet.

I'm simply going to use silicone sealant when I replace mine. Silicone can tolerate heat and has excellent bonding properties.

It has but based on my experience it'll droop before it's set: you'll either have to support the roof lining whilst the silicon goes off or use something with more instant grab.

Good thinking I cant believe i didn't think of it I come across it regularly at work and it does stick like s**t to a blanket. You could use some number plate sticky pads to hold it up whilst the silicone is drying!?

Shaun just get a tin of evo stic impact adesive that will stick it and you'll be able to cover the whole food with it

Maybe buy the ten & sell the other nine on ?
