Hi everybody, is it possible to fit your own headliner, mine is coming away at the edges, or is it best left to the experts . If it´s possible best place to get the material, grey also the best adhesive to use. Many thank´s.

Hi Spanish......yes it is possible to diy and if you search you will find others that have done it.....however after all the prep of cleaning off the old adhesive a friend of mine creased the material trying to fit his new one...so took it all out again......took it to an experianced trimmer who fitted a new one in less than an hour......for material try BAS or Aldridge....both well known trimmers
