van headlining

[Russ]

Anyone know how much fabric is required to recover a van headlining?
Cheers

I would guess 1.5 metre's of standard width from Woollies.

That should give you plenty to work with, as it's shorter than either the saloon or hatch biscuits.

Hi mal ,just wondering whether 54" is wide enough as the van headlining is deeper than the car

Hi Russ
You can measure lengthways and go from there. I would assume though 2 metres of material and 2 spray cans of adhesive would be enough. Its plenty wide enough as on a Montego it overhangs widthways about 3-4in each side.

Hi Jeff I do wonder if the overhang is enough as the cab roof is about 4" higher than the car

The headlining material is about 55in wide. Does the headining go right through the van or just the cab as I don't know anything about vans?

[Russ]

It just covers the cab area to just behind the door. But the cab roof is a lot higher than the car

Shouldn't be a problem then, just measure it and ring wollies for the amount you need

i guess if you meassure the biscuit and its not wider then 51 inches you be ok

Can confirm that one meter of woolies headlining material is sufficent to cover a vans headlining
