#1 Headliner kit fitting

Post by Robert Scarlett » Tue May 21, 2013 5:50 pm

Hi,

I hope someone might be able to offer some advice?

I have just received from Aldridge trimming a new headlining kit, the kit has the roof lining fabric and also a sperate roof foam insert.

My question is....should I glue the foam inerts to the car roof first, then glue the lining to the foam in situ or glue the two together on the dining room table (when the wife is out :D ) then glue them as one unit to the car roof after?

Also I have purchased some "professional grade" impact spray can glue to stick the roof lining inplace. I have read in different threads that this might not be strong enough and paint on evostick / 3M grade glue should be used, could anyone give advise on this matter?


Thanks - Robert
