Andy, aye the seats were a bit "in your face"?!.......20 years ago I would've loved them!!
Sold them on to a guy with a Renault Megane........he seemed to like them!
Fitted the seats that were in Jack's avant when I bought it, they're out a mk5 Golf(?)....Recaros with Quattro script.
Regards how's the car going, it's quieter now that I've replaced a rear wheel bearing and I have a spare wheel now where there was just a space.
The intercooler was bent and so the crank pulley had been rubbing on it but this is now sorted as well.
Engine goes well enough though......I just need to start loving it, which has been hard due to some issues as mentioned.
How's Nissan ownership under the rising sun!!??
I'm OUT !!
Sounds much more OEM+, rather than aftermarket.
That is frustrating for a top dollar car, it will be worth it once you have it up to your standards though.
Nissan is just doing its thing, its a nice toy, but not a hobby. Got a puppy so Sunday runs are out for a bit
If you succeed John in doing yours then I will come drop my green avant off in exchange and hope you wont notice the difference so you can do my saggy headliner too lol....
Failing that Im paying someone to do the job as I really dont want to do it! I took one out of another avant and that was a pita enough for me!!!!

The contact glue you use is extremely important. Under sunlight the headliner will get hot and if you use the wrong glue you will have a dropping headliner again in no time.
I usedd 3M 90 for headliner, and 3M Super 77 for covering pillars with faux alcantara. (3m 90 will go straight though the faux alcantara
Thanks for that Eric, I'll need to check the adhesive.....it's not 3M stuff though

Just use water... its water based glue.... don't use anything else or it will contaminate the surface for when you apply the new adhesive.
Make sure the adhesive you use is high temp resistant. .
Good luck !
That's my fear that if I use "tar and glue remover" for example, it'll leave a film that the glue won't adhere to?
I cannot say for sure but when I did mine I used a scraper that was sharpened. That seemed to get rid of most of the glue as well.
I then wiped the board down with pre-paint wipe as best I could. I used foam backed headliner that had 4 way stretch. Makes it easier to do the area round the sunroof controls as there are a lot of curves there.
