How can I stick up the roof lining in my Jaguar car?

Question

I've tried adhesive spray but the sponge on the ceiling that it sticks to is unstable and comes away, It will cost about a grand to replece the head lining so I want to avoid if possible!

Answer 1

Headliner material can be purchased at local large fabric stores. You can find them in a variety of colors and perhaps replace it yourself.

i had a friend who's headliner came apart, but he used a handful of straight pins and pinned it in place. I carefully laid out the heads so that they formed a pattern which complimented the interior. It was nice looking, as well as served a purpose.

As for glueing it in place, be sure to use an adhesive which is unaffected by humidity. Spray a small area and allow it to dry. Then spray again, and pin in place. In this way, the second application of glue will stick to the first application, causing a better adherance. Remove the pins in a day or two. Work in small areas like this and the results will be more enjoyable.

Answer 3

Buy new headlining yourself, take the plastic covers down on the 4 pillars, and the centre 2. You can then remove the entire old lining. Give the surface a clean, get the new sheet cut roughly to shape (not that accurately you want to leave some for mistakes and can hide excess in the pillars or trim it later). Then glue the exposed roof, and stick the new lining directly to it. About 3 hours work at the outside for a complete rookie. Make sure you put the trim back quickly though as this will help hold the lining tort until the glue has dried.

Answer 4

It's actually not that difficult to replace a headliner in many cars. If you have that trim that runs around the top of the inside, you can unscrew it and take down the headliner...the entire thing...the material and what it's glued to. You can then buy some new material, the right adhesive and do the work in an easier work environment.

Look up some resources, maybe even an owners manual (aftermarket, like Haynes) and see what they say. Get Googling too.

Answer 5

they have more suitable significantly from traditionally being unreliable autos. i'm offering a hyperlink to JDPower the authority in vehicle examine archives. We see that in the time of vehicle Dependability learn, it rates larger than common in reliability. And for 2005, the manufacturers have been rated 2d place, in the back of Lexus for preliminary high quality. they have more suitable. Now on your X-form, what the vehicle rather is, is a european Ford Mondeo (we knew the vehicle interior the U.S. because of the fact the Ford Contour which became killed), which Jaguar made AWD accepted stateside. I do propose the three.0L V6 because of the fact the vehicle may well be a touch bit a porker. The AWD device is vehicle and non-obstrusive. It has a RWD biased device, in spite of the indisputable fact that this is working in any respect varieties and splits the skill the place necessary with a moist coupling i think. The Duratec 3.0L is the comparable modern-day in different Ford products, and this is extraordinarily good...Jaguar upgraded it with some products to squeeze extra skill out of it. like each and every luxurious autos, some products would be somewhat costly to alter, yet being this is in accordance with a typical vehicle, majority of issues to repair are extra fee-effective for the main section. The extra complicated products like A/C and electronics, would be extra of direction. desire this facilitates ...:-)
