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

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!
