Hi guys

I have an old roof lining here that I am going to use as a template to make a vinyl one to match everything else.

What I want to know is could the original design be improved on at all or should I just copy the original ?

thanks all

If you are using the original support rods the best idea is to copy the original. From making sails which are flat i have found changing a pattern can be complicated. Go to Bunnings and buy 'flashtack' and stick it against the underside of the roof before you re trim, its an excellent sound deadener.

well it fitted.

I still have to make covers for the B and C pillars and trim the excess off.

It cost me $50 for an old one to copy and $16.50 for vinyl.

Its out in the sun now getting all hot and stretchy. I will go out later and give it another good rub and a stretch hear and there.

I think the roof lining is on parr with the build quality of the rest of the car. :D

You made a tough job look pretty easy, I reckon I will need to man up and do mine....

It's hanging up in the mini, but I'm more than a little scared of wrinkles I couldn't get rid of last time. These are the inverted 'V' shaped ones you get as you pull down either side of the support rods. How did you avoid these?
