So my car is an OSS model. The headliner was a little baggy in places along the cant rail but as the OSS is being sorted by Kleynie next month, I have removed my headliner to ease their time and hopefully my cost. The quote I got for headliner retrimming was £400 which when you think about it is reasonable. However, I am more of a 'learn a new skill' where I can, and as the fabric and adhesive is £40 or thereabouts, in Manmaths I have 10 tries at it. I have located the correct fabric with 2mm foam backing (2m will do it at £9.99/m) but not including the pillars, which will need to be done too. The fabric is 2mm foam-backed and is a little lighter grey than the original platinum, hence the pillars will also need doing. These are turning out to be another story..
The inital attempt last weekend was OK. about a 7/10 for result, but I think I can do it better. So last night I removed my handiwork for attempt number2. Thats £40 in the bin, but a lot learned, and still saving (not time, only money!)
Thinks learned so far: I have a rare side-airbag option which makes removing the grab handles tougher, the headliner is really easy to remove -about an hour as a first-timer, but I can see how its a lot quicker for experienced folk.
The pillar trims are almost impossible to remove the fabric from, as it is head-welded to the back side (ouch) and stuck somehow on the plastic. I am guessing they will need trimming over the top, but then refitting maybe a problem- they are a b****r to remove in the first place!
I can post a 'how-to' once my work is complete, which may help people. However, if time is pressing, and a guaranteed result is required, then the £400 option is a really good one.
