red-dragon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Evening all, Wondered if anyone has ever seen for sale/available a full length headlining for a 90 that does NOT have the cut outs for the alpine windows? My truck was originally a hard top/van, but has been converted to into a station wagon by adding side windows. However, the roof is the original van hard top so no alpine windows. Ideally I'd like to rip out the front-only headlining and instead install the full length county spec style headlining that goes all the way to the back of the vehicle, but everything I can see for sale has the alpine window cut outs, which of course I don't have. Not keen on putting the alpine windows in either as I have heard stories they leak over time... and I don't need them anyhow. I considered just putting some material where the cutouts are to finish it off but that won't look as neat as a headlining that doesn't have them altogether. Any ideas?

landroversforever Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I think the only LR ones available all have the alpine cutouts. a La Salle headlining doesn't have them if you don't cut them out so that might be an option? albeit a rather expensive one.

Mo Murphy Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have a La Salle headlining in my 90, it's very good. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Yes. LaSalle is good. Very good. At a price. But we were very happy to pay it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I used a LaSallle head lining in my 109. I prevented drumming and vibration and condensation and improved insulation by glueing camping roll mat to the roof panel first. It works very well.

Scotts90 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I made some filler panels from ply for the alpine cutouts then padded with wadding before trimming in black alcantara to match my roof. It looks fine, no one has actually noticed they're not factory so I'd say that was a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 If you're having to buy new, then they're probably similarly prices, but the LaSalle version is much more rugged - it doesn't sag, get damp, delaminate or get damaged by scrubbing clean.
