So now the weather seems to have improved.........I decided to get my lovely out of the garage, only to notice the rear head lining near the rear speakers has started to drop.........Ahhhh!!!

My question to all you PHers........is there anyone who knows of somebody that would be able to fix it with some spray glue in the Dorset area?................or does it mean I will have to get the whole roof lining replaced......??

Not difficult to remove from the car. The problem is the foam stuff which needs to be removed from the backing before the covering is glued to the backing again.

I opted for the Nationwide Trim fibreglass one on mine & very good it is too.

Link here for you as a very good 'How To' to recover your existing one:

If you right click on the pics & 'View Image' you'll get the full size photos. Just a quirk of the LRO site.

There's a chap in Taunton who does them. He will come to you if necessary. Not sure of exact price as mine was part of a deal with lots of other bits. I think he might be on ebay too.

Nationwide Trim have been doing this sort of thing for years... I've had work done by them in the past and wouldn't have a problem recommending them. They might even be able to do it 'while you wait'.

OP, if you want to bodge it to put you on for a while, twist pins are what you need:
