Hello!
I bought my Feelander 1 in August 2018 and somehow didn't notice that the previous owner has pinned it up to stop it hanging down because all the adhesive had failed.
Not a huge issue for me, but after the sunroof leaked, the headliner was soaked and I decided to do something about it.
A used headliner from ebay was too expensive for that I was looking at, so instead I bought some black headliner material from Ebay.
I bought 3 meters of the stuff, which at the time came to less than £30.
I pulled off the old headliner fabric from the backing, which came off very easily. I took it inside and used it as a template for the new fabric, while leaving about 2 inches extra around the edge.
I used some spray adhesive to stick it to the headliner backing but made a mistake. All of the old foam was still attached to the backing and was just pulling off with the new glue, so it all had to come off. I found a hoover with a brush attachment worked well for this, but be warned, it is very messy but wont take long to clean up.
Then I stuck it all onto the backer. I cut all the holes for things after it was stuck. I was tempted to actually not cut a hole for the sunroof because its redundant but I decided to cut a hole for it as it would let a little light through the fabric.
Overall a massive improvement, and for less than a used headliner. Door cards next! I'll post some photos tomorrow!
