@Kriss - Im thinking of doing my roof too and I wondered how you did yours? Did you use 2 pieces or 1? How did you get around the ariel? There is no way im pulling the headlining off to take it off, lol. 2 pieces might make the ariel easier but might look crap, did you just cut a slit for the ariel and then poke it under?

Hi mate. I removed the ariel to make it easier. I used one piece, It took a while with 2 of us and hair dryers but finish is great. Take off the roof rails at both sides and cut neatly into them. At the front it is tucked behind the window rubber for a neater look. This wrap is bery forgiving.

How much of a ballache is it to take the ariel off? Dont you need to take the headlining out?

Jusr unclipped and folded back bit down mate. Bit of a ball ache but well worth it. A few scratches later and its off lol

congratulations mate to you both just one think its never time to grow up
