About to re-trim my tourings headlining and looking for a good material to use.

Anyone that has done this and has links to material they used would be appreciated .

Hi
Sorry to jump in on the thread, I’ve also got a headlining on my touring to replace (gone saggy in the rear), am I right in thinking this a window out job?
Cheers scott

Was the to 2mm foamed backed stuff off ebay?

I did mine with this stuff

Don't be tempted to use material that isn't intended for headlinings, the first time I did it I used some random black flock fabric that looked good but over time the front and rear edges turned brown from sun exposure.

That's similar kit too one i was looking at.How was it to fit ?

It's easy stuff to work with, especially around the sun visor/check control panel area which is usually tricky to get a crease-free finish on.

Thanks i'll go for that . Was the sunroof panel ok to do as well?

[Cloggy Saint]

I don't have a sunroof.

I am sorry to jump on this with kind off topic, but if anyone that is doing their headliner and is black I am looking to buy some of it (the original material that is being taken off) I need enough to cover the inside of the sun roof, I am installing a glass moon roof on my car and it has a black headliner and want to preserve the original panel.
Please let me know.
Thanks Miguel
