Default Roof liner dropping

I thought I had sprouted up an inch or so today, I got in the car and my head touched the roof lining.
Another project, this is going to keep me busy for a while, fit a new liner, put in the trunk panels, hard wire my dash cam, make a double din face plate for the switches and then paint it and my original double din mods.
I am glad I never succeeded in putting the trunk panels in when I tried to do it last time, I kept breaking the clips.

I matched the color with suede,, and we are removing the sponge off the back of the new suede, then installing it on like you would to wrap your car and it SHOULD never fall again. jim

If you are using adhesive remover, you might want to put it through the laundry once to make sure that it will stick.

you start it like two sided tape with a razor blade then pull it apart, the foam comes off complete then we glue and while wet smooth out the air bubbles and ,,sit in the Florida sun for a couples of hours . jim

Hi Dave, try using a little dab of petroleum jelly on the clips, mine popped right in using that. Good luck!

Good idea, I was waiting for warmer weather to soften the plastic, but now the sky has fallen so it will have to wait.
