"wireless" headliner
"wireless" headliner
I've been thinking about it for ages, but haven't come up with anything solid. I'm not a big fan of this oem solution. Has anyone made something custom?

As I said before, I don't like this oem solution and I want it to be easily removable.Blueshark wrote:Why would you want this then ?.

It sounds like you are planning on taking it out every weekMetsla wrote:As I said before, I don't like this oem solution and I want it to be easily removable.Blueshark wrote:Why would you want this then ?.

You could drench the one you have in right now with polyester raisin and make it a solid one.
Turning the car upside down will make it a lot easier, then cut it out and you can do wiht it what ever you want.

My current headliner didn't come off very easily, so it's pretty much unusable.Blueshark wrote:

Turning the car upside down and making a new headliner with fiberglass crossed my mind, but I don't like the "turning the car upside down" part.
I believe modifying Golf mk2 headliner would be the best bet?

Re: "wireless" headliner
The only problem I can see using a Mk2 headliner is it's a very common problem in Mk2 golfs for the headliner to droop or material to come away so you may just get the same problem???

Golf headliner isn't bolt on solution. I think I have to strip it, make it shorter and narrower, reinforce it with fiberglass and raisin and then glue on fabric or vinyl.mark1gls wrote:The only problem I can see using a Mk2 headliner is it's a very common problem in Mk2 golfs for the headliner to droop or material to come away so you may just get the same problem???

Re: "wireless" headliner

Can deliver some 'bonnet lining' material for you to cut to fit in the roof between the reinforcement parts.james butler wrote:why not just take the whole lot down and paint the inside of the metal roof white?

Maybe some other sound deadening material as well.

No problem, just ask.james butler wrote:nice of you to offer joost i might take you up on that
Measure from let to right and front to back, if I remember 3 pieces,
and I can have them cut exact or with some oversize for you to cut to fit 100%.

Re: "wireless" headliner
I did it. Well... not yet, but I’m on my way. I made a fiberglass so called frame of a Sciroccos roof. Bought a mk3 Golf headliner, slightly modified it and used it as a mould to make one from fiberglass. Merged them and that’s about it. Still a lot of work to do but nothing too hard.

Due to various reasons it took way longer, but it's done.
