Title: Ute Head Lining Post by: Theo on October 04, 2010, 09:36:31 PM Hi all,
I don't post often but keep an eye on the forum. I've recently finished restoring my FE ute as a stable mate for my FE sedan. I have a interesting question. The ute has a new headlining to go with all the other new trim etc. Anyway, everything looks great and the new upholstery looks terrific but.....when I'm driving along at speed (for a grey motor) at 50MPH or more the headlining balloons down significantl between the bows when I open a quarter vent or a window. The faster I go the more the headlining balloons. Does anybody have an explanation for this? And more importantly, a solution? The ute also has a sunvisor, I don't know if this influences anything but...?. Thanks all Theo Title: Re: Ute Head Lining Post by: Theo on October 23, 2010, 09:34:57 AM Problem is now fixed.

Theo, "What was the problem?" I am also restoring a ute (FE look alike) and don't want the same problem.

Its a tight gap in the pillar to get through and access is by removing the side panels in the ute tub, but believe me it worked.
