thats the one roof lining!
how do i fit it? is it a sewing job? or lots of glue?
Please be the glue (fingers crossed)
how did you rip that...lol :wink: :wink: :wink:
just get it out...excess weight!!!! :lol: :lol:
you have to take the rear quarter windows out and the wind screen plus the door rubbers and boot rubber, and if you got a sunroof that aswell i think. then its stuck around the edges and has got metal rods to hold it up. good luck with it :wink:

you still lost me! have i missed something really simple?
how would excess weight rip my roof lining? the material bit inside the car.
the bit you see when you look up while inside the car.
:lol: :lol: :lol: the roof lining is the excess weight..lol...strip it out....less weight=lighter car=faster acceleration... :lol: :lol: :lol:

i thought you meant the excess weight ripped the roof lining. i wasnt seeing how that would work!
nah if i wanted to go fast i would but an american hotrod, like a ford 1932 roadster 6.6ltr V8.
l like to enjoy my car and look up at a nice untorn roof!
yeah i knew what i meant...i think.... :oops: :oops: :oops: lol

If it is a small rip and the roofs black, you might get away with glueing a bit of material on the badck and smoothing it badck over. As its black, you probably wont notice it.
But it is a faff getting the lining out - especially as all the windows need removing and the windscreen (which will probably crack!)
