Well something had to go wrong after 6 months of trouble free motoring..

i noticed that there was a puddleon the pass side floor mat and carpet was wet, after some digging and searching i fnd its the front window seal. so i need to find something to seal it, iv heard dum dum but cant find any (any help appreciated)

but my main question i how to go about drying the roof liner, and what to stick it back up with as a quick poke left it hanging abit, i dont want to staple and want it to look reasonable.

cheers
 
I have the same problem with my head lining and just waiting to free up my garage then i will get my disco in and put one of those small remote heaters in the car probably on the boot floor set it to warm not hot and leave it in the car either over night or all day then once its all dry i will seal the two sunroofs with gaffa tape and hopefully that should cure them from leaking in.
 
ahh yes that would be a problem :doh:

how about a fan heater in the back, put seats down and run overnight.
but use a temperature controlled type. and leave front windows open just a crack..

de-humidifier and leave engine running for a few hours with heater on ;)
 
Dumdum isn`t really for waterproofing in my experience - its usually used to stop vibration or for localised soundproofing. I wouldn`t use it to seal anything
As to drying - a hairdryer on low heat and used carefully and evenly is probably quickest and cheapest
