Hi all, So after changing the seats going to do the main interior so im starting off with the headliner and have some new fabric.

ive started stripping out the necessary trim pieces but im stuck one one and cant see how to get them off its the clips that the sun visors clip into. the other side they have a screw but the sides by the rear view mirror cant see any way to get them off, pics below and as you can see the saggy headliner held up with taylors pins.

old fabric off time for the wire brush and nice and clean from old foam..

laid on fabric and used twist pins to ensure good adhesion on stress points and left over night then ran hair dryer over next day to get out and little wrinkles.

one suggestion would be to have a helper when you first start putting it back up otherwise you will have to do as I did and use your head to keep it raised up while you fix first screws lol.

Corr, that's exactly what I should do with my old headliner.

Where did you get the fabric?

The car your seats came from will have spotted fabric IIRC. If that floats yer boat.

I didn't even think about doing the door cards. That'd look great.

would have loved them mate but the seats i got the car they came from has gone to the great garage in the sky now so no chance of obtaining them 😞

Headliner looks great, Stewart 👍 Did you use spray glue on it?

I used spray glue on the main part but used evostick brush on glue for the folded edges to give it better sticking power.

Total price of job £44 lol pretty sure cheaper than a proper trim shop.

Sounds good, £50 if you do mine.

I'd do yours in tartan fabric

I wanted to do the seat centres in something like the Golf GTI interior, but I have sewing skills comparable to the darts skills of Stevie Wonder.
