Hi all,
I have been thinking about the headlining on the car. FHC series 1. Am I right in thinking the headlining trim glues directly to the roof? i.e. there is no panel, just the inside of the roof panel?
Thanks, Steve.

Correct. One of the many small ways Sir Lyons saved money.

Yes. It's West of England cloth on a foam backing. I got mine as part of the complete trim kit from BAS and it had the foam backing attached. I think some other specialists supply the foam separately.
It's a rewarding job once it's done although covering the cantrails is a challenge.
