How can I stick up the roof lining in my Jaguar car?
Answers:
Headliner material can be purchased at local large fabric stores. You can find them in a variety of colors and perhaps replace it yourself.
i had a friend who's headliner came apart, but he used a handful of straight pins and pinned it in place. I carefully laid out the heads so that they formed a pattern which complimented the interior. It was nice looking, as well as served a purpose.
As for glueing it in place, be sure to use an adhesive which is unaffected by humidity. Spray a small area and allow it to dry. Then spray again, and pin in place. In this way, the second application of glue will stick to the first application, causing a better adherance. Remove the pins in a day or two. Work in small areas like this and the results will be more enjoyable.
HI,,,, that is about the only thing that you can do,, take it to a upholstery shop and get it done right.
good luck
Try to remove the old glue with a thinners soloution clean it up make sure the area is clean and use what is called aircraft bonding glue "BUT"MAKE SURE THE CAR IS IN THE OPEN AND ALL THE DOORS AND WINDOWS ARE OPEN FOR VENTILATION THIS STUFF IS POWERFUL PLEASE WEAR A MASK hope this works".
It's actually not that difficult to replace a headliner in many cars. If you have that trim that runs around the top of the inside, you can unscrew it and take down the headliner.the entire thing.the material and what it's glued to. You can then buy some new material, the right adhesive and do the work in an easier work environment.
Look up some resources, maybe even an owners manual (aftermarket, like Haynes) and see what they say. Get Googling too.
Buy new headlining yourself, take the plastic covers down on the 4 pillars, and the centre 2. You can then remove the entire old lining. Give the surface a clean, get the new sheet cut roughly to shape (not that accurately you want to leave some for mistakes and can hide excess in the pillars or trim it later). Then glue the exposed roof, and stick the new lining directly to it. About 3 hours work at the outside for a complete rookie. Make sure you put the trim back quickly though as this will help hold the lining tort until the glue has dried.
