Greetings 

Does anyone have any tips and tricks to make a tidy job of re-sticking the fabric outer layer to the headlining? Mine is delaminating over about two-thirds of the length of the car.

Our son-in-law used aerosol carpet adhesive on his mk1.  Seems to work fine although naturally one has to be careful about overspray.

 

That's what I was planning on using.  Did he use it through the material or peel it off to get access to the insulation below for the aerosol?

I have this issue in an area at the rear of my combi.  Any suggestions as to brands to use / avoid ?

The affected area was hanging off already so he masked off around it, gave the back of the lining a light spray and stuck it back up.  He did comment that it is very easy to saturate the material leading to bleedthrough, although I think that bit of knowledge came via his work.

I'll have to ask the SIL which brand of spray he used.  IIRC it was a 'trade' brand rather than a retail one.

I have the same issue and was planning the same solution.

I figured swapping the spray top for one off a WD40 can with the straw would let me poke the latter through a tiny hole or two and get to it that way.

Might need to test it in a non live environment first!
