hey guys, i have just fix the saging in my roof liner so i thought ill write it up. This is my first write up so if i do anything wrong let me know thnaks. ~Things you will need~ -Fullers spray bond permanant adhesive or simmilar -nib of rp7-wd40 -a nail or skewer (no wider than 3mm) -Many long extension hose thingy(red thing in picture) Before you start get the nib off another can which fits the extension hoses and put it on your glue in a can. Step 1:Get your nail or skewer and poke holes into your roofliner about 15cm appart, in my case i only needed one hole as only small aera was sagging. Step 2: Poke through the extension hoses into all your holes leaving half in and half out your roof liner. When they're all in get your can of glue and shake it well. Put the can up to the extensions and connnect them, spray generous ammounts into the roof (if the glue starts to seep through your putting too much or your taking too long) do this to every hole. Step:3 Now you have to work a little bit fast, pull out all the hoses out of the liner and grab your can of glue and use it as a rolling pin start from the center of the sag and work your way to the edges, i did this for about 5 minutes just to be safe and so it gives the glue sufficent time to dry. Now you have finished Before: Aftter: it is normal for you to get a bunch of material on the edges as you are streching the liner, if you are too concerned you could cut off the excess material from the edges and re stick it but i have not tried this. This is just a guide and i do not take responsibility for any damages caused Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah i fixed up a m8s roof lining.. Nice tips..

It will be good for a short time but it will come down again in the future. What actually happens is the foam backing crumbles and goes powdery. It then falls away. This roof wasn't to bad but is different material to an exec. In an exec the material degrades heaps quicker and the glue will seep straight through causing fingerprint marks and lumps. If anybody needs a headlining recoverd just PM me and i'll look after you CT guys on price!

yeah i got finger marks from were dumb ****s before i got the car poaked at it yeah "yep boost" your right there is foam behind it about 4mm but i found if you soak it enough wiht glue it seeps into it and hardens the foam

My mates looks alright so far.. Its in a VR.

how did you go about doing your mates? Only time will tell guess its been 2 months since i did the one at the front on my car

I did it by the instructions you gave bud.

Your better off taking the whole cardboard lining out, getting new roof velour from an auto re-trimmer and re-covering it. Just use some interior glue spray from supercheap. Cost me about $25 in material and $10 in glue to re-do mine and it looks like brand new and will last longer than the original did! (because the roof velour I got was good quality, not that crap with the foam that breaks down after a few years) Also depends how bad your roof is. Mine was too bad...beyong the fixit job you've done here. This would be good if you catch the sag early...pity mine was saggy when I bought it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The only problem you may have Pishk will be caused by the quality of the glue you have used. It MAY come unstuck as the experience I've had with the glue you would have used it will not have a real high temperature heat rating!

Yeah, I'm not sure its been on there only about 6months now. And it's winter, could heat up in summer I guess. There where a few different brands of the glue in the aerosol bottles...I got the more dearer one, hoping to also get better quality Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

pics arent working? looks like a very useful article can you get the pics back up please?

This is just a guide and i do not take responsibility for any damages caused I tried a similar system on my VN Commodore and gave up very quickly due to the horrible job it produced, with holes, lumps and stretching. Instead I mixed up Sellys Wallpaper glue, about $15, then laid on my back(it was a station wagon) and hand spread the glue all over the liner using 4 litres of the glue. Perfect job. It dries clear so even though it darkens the liner while you are applying it it dries the same color. PS "Killrust Delicious Red" is the exact touchup paint for the older red commodores.

I have VS wagon with the lining starting to drop. Do you think the wallpaper glue would work for me. Did it dry hard? What consistancy did you mix? Regards, MarkG
