Title: headlinning
Post by: NO NAME on July 04, 2009, 09:55:55 AM
i plan to fit this weekend.
 I think i
 take out the windscreen
 clip in the bows starting from the middle
 may need to trim back some of the listing
 brush glue onto teeth
 tuck the edges in
 fit the windlacing
 tap in the retainer with a rubber mallet
 trim the edges off
 glue and clamp around the windscreen
 trim the excess
 fit the screen
 does that sound rite?

 i think i will need a rubber mallet with vynil glued on
 some glue, maybe kwikgrip in a tin
 scissors
 what should i push in the edges with? can i round the corners of a paint scraper or is there a better tool?

Hey Leon
When in doubt, get the workshop manual out.

To make life a bit easier instead of normal contact adhesive there is a product called gel grip, exactly same thing except thicker, easier to apply and if you accidentally knock it over it stays in the tin, I used it for carpet laying for years and it saved me from a lot of disasters.
