Drooping headlining

[Big Rumbly]

Morning all,
Driving in today I noticed that the headlining has dropped on my 1997 Xjr, it seems to have come loose somewhere in the rear, so its not taut anywhere, would'nt know where to start with this, any ideas anyone.

Regards

You could start here:

and similar, just type in X300 (or is yours an X308?) headlining into google.

A call to Aldridge Trimming might be useful, they don't list the later models but still worth calling them.

I've done this job on a S1 SWB XJ6 and it wasn't too bad, but then it's all easier on that car. Even the 'screens come out easy; I guess you'd be looking at a specialist just to do that. Interestingly I ended up doing it myself as three local trimmers refused to take the job on. On my car I had to cover the pillars as well, the new headlining was brighter then the old coverings.

Thanks for the reply, found someone in Baldock who will do it for not too bad a price

Oh right, it is a bit fiddly so yeah probably worth giving to someone else.

Friend and I discussed it and if someone wanted us to do it on their car I'd want £500 to make it worth my while!

It's a very fiddly job, if you've found an expert to do it for sensible money I would have him do it.
