At the moment it is pretty minor so I wanted to get it fixed before it ends up pulling the whole roof in.I am hoping to sell the car at some point during the year, and since it is only a small area, I was wondering how I would go about sticking it back up with some sort of adhesive?Does anyone have any idea what I would use? Or am I pretty much doomed to have the roof re-lined?Cheers guys,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has started to sag in middle etc now so time for new liner :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a real bummer as I'm selling the car later this year...Even if the spray is temporary, how long do you think it will last?What would they have done it with in the first place? (From factory?)Cheers buddy,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very tedious work. Any as there is foam backing will come away again fairly quickly as the foam backing has decayed.For a couple of hundred you can get the whole roof re-lined with new material.

I am sure they will appreciate your repair efforts down the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
