Hi Guys,

Any quick fixes for sagging roof lining on a RR Classic? It just seems to be
happening on the driver's side (no comments about 'big head', please ;-)).

TIA

Colin

Spray glue with the door trim moved away?

Remove entire headliner. If only a small area near the edge is involved
you may be able to do the job 'in situ' but it's easier with the thing
upside down on trestles.

If the base material is breaking up, sort that before you proceed.

Re-attach lining with spray glue.

I suppose it depends on how tidy the motor is overall, the last one I had I
just ripped out the hanging stuff and emulsioned the cardboard type backing,
marvellous job! The later one I've never had trouble with it in about
seven years, they must be a better job unless someone replaced it before I
got it but I don't think so.

Wickes own brand spray glue worked for me, but the whole thing was sagging
so i could reach in from the back and start at the front.

Thanks guys.

The back seems fine for now so I may do the quick fix version of pulling as
much away as I need from the front and spray gluing that. ANYTHING other
than taking the whole lining out ...
