  • Head Lining Replacement

    HI All, apologies , this might be a very common question! I Have a 1990 1.3 LX and currently I have the polystyrene backing in place but no cloth. I have spotted the excellent guidance on how to replace the material on the site but wanted to ask where is best place to source the right sort of headlining cloth. Presumably you can by it on a roll...any help very much appreciated!!

    Woolies trim can supply both the material and the high temperature glue. You will need 2mtrs of material.

      If you search for the Martrim website and look under nylon headlining you can request a few samples of the colours you think you need. The samples are free, once you decide on the nearest colour as said you will need 2 metres of cloth and 2 heat resistant spray glue cans.

          Not sure where you live but i had the headlining replaced in my Maestro Turbo by a company in Wokingham. TrimMania.
          They did an absolutely fantastic job and didnt charge the earth. I understand it is a very tricky job replacing headlining, and not something i really fancied having a go at, as they had to take the sunroof out, but the headlining looks better now than, probably, when the car rolled off the production line.
          cheers
