    Ive started to take the headlining out of my nova tonight. just need to get my dad to give me a lift out with the windscreen one night this week then start unclipping the metal bars. Useful thread this is mate as I had no idea how to remove the sun visor and 'Jesus rail' plastic pegs.

    It's putting the thing in that's going to be a pain in the ****!

    Is it possible to dye the headlining?

    I wonder what could be used to dye it black? As I want to cover the plastic pillar covers in black leather so a black headlining would look nice as well.

    You work in a motor factors as well don't you benn?

    We sell an auto glym aerosol black dye. Says its suitable for rubber, carpet, fibreboard, synthetic fabrics etc. just depends how long it will last? And if its an actual dye or just paint?

    Ill have to ask the autoglym rep when he comes in.

    Yeah i would think it would dye ok, not sure off hand whats best tho, that Foliatedc stuff is crap tho. Well was the last time i used it.
    I'd try the AG stuff, i've seen it used on capets and it was very good.

    And yes i do work in a MF.
