This is all peeling away where it tucks in and meets the glass and looks a right mess through the windscreen. I experimented with evostick but not very successfully. Any tips? A windsceen out job?

Had the same. Started by putting masking tape across the glass where the trim had parted. Rigged up a mirror in front of the windscreen so I could see what I was doing and applied a thin bead of superglue along the fabric - working in a mirror is an art (I just need to find someone to pay me!). Carefully pushed and folded the trim back up into the angle (you'll see then why the masking tape was a good idea). Because of the foam filling behind the fabric you'll need to wedge some folded kitchen towel and use some more masking tape while the glue dries. Don't squeeze the foam too hard or push the fabric up too high into the angle or else the trim in that area will be tighter than other areas and will look deformed.

Crikey you've got some patience.
I take it that it worked OK though so will have a go.
The problem I had with the evostick was that the vinyl was obviously under tension compressing the foam inner and it was difficult to stretch the vinyl far enough to completely cover over the foam. The wedging with paper and holding with masking tape sounds good.
Thanks for input.
