Once out "quite easy 2 man job" pull old material off and clean off old orange glue with a wire brush re-spray with new MUST be high temp contact glue and try and stretch the new material into all nooks & crannies without creases!!! And this is the challenge!!! It's not particularly easy it'll look much better, and is cheap! "There was pictures somewhere showing patterned roof lining" that hides any imperfections, as you can choose any material you desire, when out.....sound proof roof with acoustic foam makes a huge improvement.

Head's a shed
Not a disco, but same principle. I used some stretch carpet material off ebay and high temp glue.
Was all much easier than I thought it would be, I originally thought it would be full of creases but I didn't have any.

That looks really good, the discovery one is quite a bit more detailed and has big deep crevices "a bit more difficult" but I like the material you used.Not a disco, but same principle. I used some stretch carpet material off ebay and high temp glue.

Remove head lining from car, strip off felt, wire brush off the carcass to remove the stuck on backing foam, paint with chosen colour (pref dark), using spray can enamel, I used satin black, enough coats to cover thoroughly, whole job cost $18.00 Au, cheap, practical for an off roader, looks good.

Just spoke to the nice chap who welded Matilda back together he also said paint it, just found some in the shed so I will see how it looks

I removed mine, pulled off the cloth material, wire brushed it and then painted it with a ceiling paint (its flexible) It looks 100% better and very practical.
Also stuck 10mm foam underlay to the roof whilst it was off (got it for free as I fit floors) and now its much warmer on cold days, cooler in the summer and much quieter especially when it rains.

I think you will find they are for attachment of child restraints, at least that is what I used to put a child safety seat in the rear for our grandson.
Along with the usual fixture using the adult seat belts of course.

I recovered mine using normal spray adhesive and a material I got from ebay. Learnt my lesson when it all started sagging after a month. Re did it with high temp spray glue and it lasted fine.
