What did you do with your Range Rover today

[Grrrrrr]

@OldP38 Is there any give in the material please? The stuff I used on my Disco would not stretch over corners and into recesses at all so had a few creases.

In the Matrim kit? Yes, there is.

If you have a full LR service history, £20G Noel Edmonds edition that needs to be original then fair enough.
0therwise Kev12’s Mulsion mop tactic works well.

Today I replaced the grotty old headliner, with new fabric from Martin trim!

Nice job there I'm about todo my l322 just looking at samples before I buy and I'm testing other spray glues which are repositionable as you say the usual stuff is instant grab no 2nd chance

In the Matrim kit? Yes, there is.

Thanks for that. They are not too far from me and my headlining is sagging and full of mold spots. Didn't see a shagpile option on their website though.
May be even put some colour changing led's in there while i'm at it.

Can you let us know how you get on with the alternative glue please? My disco was a pita with the instant grab.

New front calipers and various bolts arrived from JGS. Pretty good service and reasonable delivery charges to NI.

I'd like 2 kits from Martrim, but typical UK company, they will not ship to France claiming that the glue cannot be shipped. That is nonsense as I get lead acid batteries and all sorts of solvents delivered by DHL and the like.

I run into exactly the same crap in NI. My favourite is when they say they won't ship over here and they're using Royal Mail.

If you make a mistake with contact adhesive use a hot air gun to gently warm the glue up and you get a second, third etc chance.

Sat nice and level in the local B&Q

Yes will do, here are some of my samples drying with the repositional glue iv dug out the last remains of what I had left over from doing my p38 so have lots to use on different glues

Hmm. The low strength rating on that may be an issue.

I dont think thats strong enough, thats not going to last, its for paper

Yep but it's worth an experiment

 

[Grrrrrr]

Can you let us know how you get on with the alternative glue please? My disco was a pita with the instant grab.

I folded it back and did it in 2 halves (front and rear) working centre out with thick walking socks on my hands to slide out and push it into the nooks and crannies.

So 20 hours since I stuck my samples down.......they pulled straight off so as expected but worth a go.
3m 75 repositional spray glue is no good for a new headlining.

I’ve tried bout dozen types glue. They last bit but heat in sun then cooling, rinse repeat, open widow gone again.
Best I found was actually wilko stuff only lasted few months though.

Matrim one only one I’ve seen people do it once and for all. Gotta get all that orange right off.
Other 2 methods I’ve seen work are lining off and just board tarted up or Data’s pin method looks nice

 

[Dopey]

You need a contact adhesive, the type they make for shoes, in a spray, and look for a hi temperature one

 

[Datatek]

Re-fitted the lower hatch top edge plastic trim and the hinged flap flap at the bottom after repairing all the broken fixing points.
