Saggy head lining
« on: February 01, 2006, 15:31:46 »
I know this isnt a Land rover based topic but I am sure someone will know the answer.

In my rover 620 the roof lining is starting to become unglued and sag above the rear passenger head. There is one of those little plastic clips right in the middle so hopefully I should be able to get glue into the inside to glue it back onto the roof but does anyone know what is the best type of glue to do such a job? It would be best if it was either a spray or something like no nails which is in one of those tubes with a nozzle so I can get it inside the lining easier.

Any ideas will be taken on board as I want to glue it ASAP before the whole lot becomes unstuck!

I have tried just about every glue known to man to fix this on the Audi's Sunroof cover and have found that Evostick and Uhu are about the only ones that work and last. that said its comming undone again 9 months on. With mine the problem is that its material over foam and the foam has disentegrated not the glue :( Gluing the fabric just looks nasty.

Might be better trying to get a new liner from scrappy.

just found some carpet glue in my cupboard and tried it and yes your right it does look nasty and the only that it has stuck is my fingers to everything! It had a little look through the hole and the foam is ok. I may get a very sharp stanley knife out cut a straight line and use double sided tape and glue the tape ontothe foam and hopefuly stick the liner back up.

Ihave no idea how aeasy it would be to swap the head liners over if i did find one at my loacal scrappy. probably mega hard I am guessing.

grr this glue!!!
