Stinky made my rooflining looks fantastic,  a good trick for holding the glued lining is bits of pinchweld instead of paper clips

Roof lining is in and glued have a few wrinkles no matter which way I pull it don't seem to be able to get them all out will a bit of heat from a heat gun down low. Stretch and shrink it for a smoother finish or am I stuck with what I have ???  Mickrat

Mickrat, if you look at some YouTube videos it might give you a few different methods.

To pull out a crease you to tighten/pull perpendicular to the crease (across the crease).
If you want to use heat get a hair-dryer as a heat gun can heat it too quickly and you will ruin the job completely. When heating, always keep touching the heated area to test it, if it is too hot to touch STOP!
