Who`s swapped a roof lining?

[eko]

Soon im going to be swapping the roof lining in my SE for the Black lining from my 318is.

Who has done this?
Any tips to make life easier?

Have plenty of patience when you refit the new one

[316eyes]

Take your time stripping the old one and note carefully how it fits; and allow plenty of time to do the job.

Nothing worse than a badly fitted, saggy h/lining!

I am thinking about doing this so any info would be good. All I have been told is its not fun.

Its not as bad as people say. I did it with a new lining though, is yours new os second hand? You'll need some Evo-stik 528 glue, its the only stuff I could find that would stick fabric to a painted surface. You have to paint it on both surfaces then leave to dry for 15mins then put them together. It worked well for me.

Where do i need the evo stick for?
Round the door frames presumably?

[Martin347]

Well, I used it round all the windows/door lips (where the rubbers go onto). I had all the windows and rubbers out at the time. Are you going to take the windows etc out?

[Demlotcrew]

The sunroof/rear quarters/rear window need to come out. (ON a 325i SE)
