    Retrim headlining avant

    As I've stripped the old headlining material and also removed the old foam and glue I was wondering what had people used for retrimming again , I'm changing color but am unsure what thickness and where to buy from any help would be good cheers

    I used Black foam backed headliner fabric 5mm on ebay when doing mine. Also use the correct glue. I used 3M Super 90.

      I've redone mine in grey alcantara type fabric. You can buy it on Ebay with the foam backing already gluid on to it.
      I can recommend buying some extra in the same colour but without the foam backing to trim the A,B and C pillars with.

            Hi,

            I went thru replacing my headlining a while back and hit a problem with the glue not sticking, its important to keep the board clean and dry, check out the thread called "Headlining Adhesive Problem"

            I used grey alcantara and did all the pillar trims. Its a time consuming job but its worth the effort.

            Good luck.

            PAUL

              I had a quick look on eBay and the seller doesn't sell it any more
              Which ever material you get make sure its 4-way stretch material. Otherwise you could get wrinkles around the tight areas
