Hi
The roof lining in the 406 i am using colapsed completely. It is a felt type
material.(It is hanging like a up-side down parachute) I live and work in
West Africa so service agents ect is not easily availible. My thoughts are to
re-glue it but removing tha plastic fittings and light fitittings in order to
do it properly is a little bit daunting. Can some one advice me and explain
about the "how to " remove the light the light fittings and the plastic
covers on the door supports ect.
Thank you
Carl

You could always use a syringe and needle full of glue and inject into the
roof space and hold the roof lining up until it dries.

Thank You Tunku, very good idea, any suggestions on the type of glue that
will be most suitable?

I'm afraid not, it was an idea I remember reading on brickboard.com

Thanks anyway, will experiment with different kinds on some similar cloth
before doing the roof.

Have same problem on my 405 estate and I'm going to try
1. centring the cloth with double sided sticky tape and then
2. using some of my artist daughters spray adhesive. This is what they
use to stick artwork to backings and it "should" work I'm told ...
I thought of syringing but reckoned it would be too blodgy ...
Cheers,
