Sammy_D Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hey guys. My roof lining is sagging so decided to rip it all out. As of now it's all bare metal. Has anyone had any problems with just having it all bear? Thinking of just making a square board covered in black speaker carpet to replace it all?? Thanks Sammy d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 With a bit of care you can make the old headlining un saggy. Take off the cloth (carefully) then put the headlining on a flat surface (garage floor worked for me), leave to completely dry out.. Buy a gallon can of glassfibre resin and hardener. Paint the dry headlining with the resin till it stops absorbing resin, cover with polythene sheet and weighy it down to keep it flat ( I used bags of compost...). Leave for a day or two till completely dry to the touch. Then give it another very thin coat of resin and wait until this coat is just tacky, put the cloth back on using a small, clean paint roller. Leave for a day or two and job done! FORGOT TO MENTION - when finished and looking good, don't drive over it like I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
