Hi, nice job on your roof insulation The B and Q thermal foil you used was it the stuff that has foil on one side? If it was I am just wondering if double sided foil would make any difference re heat or cold coming through the roof?
What do you think?

Hi JC, no it is like bubble rap with foil on either side. Really easy to use and cheap.

I just got back from B and Q the VALUE single sided foil was all they had in and that was £7.98.... will wait for the double sided stuff at £12.98. Many thanks

Just bought a roll today so if I get time tomorrow (fitting new seats 1st) I hope to remove the old sagging head liner, clean it up, stick the insulation in then re fit lining.
Camera is to hand for both seat job and saggy lining.

How many rolls did you need to cover the rear load area, did one roll do it?

Including doing the top of the lining I used 1 1/2 rolls.

Here is the old head lining which will be out tomorrow.

And then while fitting the new seats I had a practice with the sound proofing/carpet at the back of the seats and under them.

Stag1962 · Apr 3, 2013

Took the manky one out.
Good job I had borrowed a trim tool, made removal of the fasteners very easy.
Then one of my work mates said spray the vinyl with flash, leave it 10mins then give it a once over with the steam cleaner.

What a great job it made, so I did the visors and the same result. Excellent.

Gave the board a gental rub over with a wire brush to get all the old foam and residue off.

The down side is its not quite dry yet so re-gluing to head board will have to be tomorrows job.

How did you do the sunvisors ?

Sprayed with flash. Left it 10 minutes to soak the muck up, then blasted them with the steam cleaner.

They look like new Psulli16, its a tip worth sharing. Hope you have the same results.

Well its done. Would have liked to do a bit better job but its my 1st attempt.
The prep and cleaning went well as did the setting out, dont think I put enough glue round the contours aon first half then rushed the second half and got a couple of ripples.

Will loo ten times better though with it cleadned and re atteched to its home.

Stag1962 · Apr 4, 2013

Oh, be careful of over spray on the kitchen carpet. Just had a right roasting from her in doors.

Here was the setting out using rawplugs and then the couple of errors.

I think I could make a better job now with hindsight.

Stag, do it again - it will only annoy you. Do it in a darker colour to hide most mistakes.

The idea did cross my mind, but its going to be insulated like yours then refitted and the back of the board is going to be glued to the 3 ribs so it should hold its true shape.

If it comes down again then that's the time to have another go.

Cheers for the advice though.

I try to always listen.

Stag1962 · Apr 10, 2013

Job done and refitted.

I sound proofed the back while I was at it.

Stag1962 · Apr 10, 2013

Rear and tub soundproofed.

Insulated on the top as well.

Well done

I just finished the refurb of my headliner and thought I would share the pics, a few tips that may help and thank all those who contributed to this excellent thread

I thought all headliners sagged so mine wasn't so bad but as I am looking to sell her I thought for around £50 it is a good upgrade. It took me 3 x 8hr days to complete it (this included the insulation) as I have the time and I ponder, point and drink tea.

I would highly recommend you take pictures before you start as they come in handy... ie what way up do the second row grab handles go? Where are the original stud holes in the headliner? Look closely at the middle headliner... it only fits one way. Your sun visors can also be refitted wrong as I did it. You really need at get a 'stud removing tool' (see pic) a good craft knife and don't even think of starting the job if the wind is blowing. If it's a 110 CSW refit the front first.... I removed the cover and top bolt of the drivers side seat belt as this makes life easier... all the headliners will bend in the middle but take care. Then fit the back one and then the middle as it clumps over the others... I shorted out my interior lights twice, so remove the fuse first. If you have a sun roof just remove the interior seal, clean, a bit of fairy liquid refit it AFTER you you have refitted all the headliners.... I had to take mine off again to get the stud holes lined up... use a Phillips to push through the holes you have made in the headliner to fine the hole in the roof beams so you can line up before putting the studs in...

I went for a darker headliner but I would suggest the lighter one or you will have to do your sun visors as well... pain in the ass but it matches the carpet on the rear floor and side panels.

All I need now is matching furry dice.... oh and refitting your rear view mirror. You have to sit in the middle seat to get purchase (ask the wife about that) and WD40 the spring latch in the mirror first and see how it works. Push upwards first till you see it move up then push it in... if you try to push up and in at the same time you are working against yourself. I get mine in first time

Nice Job Sir

JC, cracking job - well done.

But what do you mean by you're looking to sell her?

LeadFarmer · Jun 25, 2013

Finally got around to cleaning my headlining. Used a scrubbing brush and soapy water to loosen the dirt, then 1001 cleaning spray, wiping the suds off with a sponge. Heres what it looked like with 17 years of dirt & grime...

Half clean....

Thats the easy part done, now Ive got to pull away the fabric and glue it back down, insulate the roof, and refit the headlining. Last time I fitted a headlining it was a real pain on my own. I ended up putting a screw driver through the headlining holes, then fishing around with the tip of the screwdriver to find the roof holes.
