evening famalam zoners .. what's the crack here with fitting the roof mounts for the executive rear load cover roof mounts ?
who has done it and how ... i just had my headliner recovered in black so f00kin the job up guessing where to cut isn't an option .

now my theoretical question is this .
are there any cut out/marked drill holes markings on the reverse side of the tourings headliner board like there are on door cards and consoles to take extra switches ?

i'm trying to give my touring a few executive upgrades :D

The dealer guide for adding the net to the standard roller blind is amongst my collection of 90, and is in the wiki, but strangely, makes no mention of the roof brackets and how/where to fix them.

I've had my headlining out a few times and am pretty sure that the underside is marked for the screw holes.

can you update the wiki asap :snigger:

i found a touring headliner in my stash and can confirm there are no perforation or cut out outlines on the reverse side :roll: .

i need a touring with factory fitted net to look at so i can get some exact measurements . the car will be up and running soon so it will attend a couple of meets next year while i do some shake down miles in it... Sanchez has the net fitted so a scottish rd trip is on the cards .
