Retrimming my roof lining, any advice/help?

[Vincefox]

My e36 M3 roof lining (solid card) has let go of the fabric trim that's bonded to it. Item is discontinued by BMW and local trimmer wants over 400 quid.

It's a solid card, no sunroof, 2 door so I fancy having a go myself. Has anyone here done this? I understand the glue has to be the right one and the fabric needs replacing as the foam degrades behind it but not sure who to order from/how to get best results.

Any advice greatfully received, cheers!

Brilliant stuff, many thanks.

Question now is, do I keep is very dark grey or go for Priest's sock black?

Not quite the same situation, but on my old Range Rover Classic, the headlining let go, and I re-pinned it using upholstery pins with pig-tail pins.



Cost me about a quid.

yeah I'm not going to do that.

Mini update, just ordered 2 meteres off a 1.4 metre roll of brushed black lining and 3 cans of 500ml roof contact adhesive (heat resistant). If anyone's interested I'll document the process as I go.

Whole lot from Martrim including delivery was 54 quid. Hopefully a bargain.

Oh i'm not allowed scissors.

Also, 2M2CVs missus isn't allowed near while I'm doing it.
