tin top 86 410 saggy headlining

Post by SteveR » Sun Feb 07, 2016 9:55 am

Hi all

As above, the headlining in my tin top is sagging, 30 year old glue giving up, no rips in material and still good condition so before I make a mistake trying to fix it think i'll ask here 1st.

How do you take it all out without cutting ripping etc as it just needs re glueing, I can't see how to take it out, I presume there is some sort of hardboard backing up there.
Any help appreciated

thx
steve

No backing. Its glued straight to the roof.

Very carefully peel it off from the edge or get spray glue with a straw nozzle and make a small hole in the lining and just spray it in.
