New Headliner?

Post by Tee3 »

The thing really letting my Mk1 down now are the splits and tears and general grubbiness of the headlining, so i'm thinking some time in the near future i'll replace it.

There is a German company doing these:

Has anyone fitted one?
Or any other recommendations?
My only aftermarket headliner experience was a Beetle years ago, and it was saggy and horrid.

I can help but it'll need a bit of help.

Pm me and I'll talk you through it

Cheers.
Not ready to do it yet, i'm just getting over the trauma of getting the chrome back into the window rubbers on a freshly painted body, I cant face taking them out again yet :D

Its probably going to be a job for winter.

nice find, I just got a new one made locally, 80 euro. Have not fitted it yet, but it looks the business.
