Morning,
Any (sensible) quick fix ideas on stopping / curing a saggy roof lining short of sending it to a trim shop?

I don’t have time to do it and would rather not do it but I’m guessing a shop will charge many, many bags of gold?

Sorry, no quick-fixes but I heartily recommend Blackbrook autotrim. He's a really splendid bloke and very helpful.

You can save a bit by taking it out & re-installing yourself. The difficult part is the trimming without getting creases.

I held the trim up in my P38 with plastic trim studs, has a nice quilted effect

Had my RRC (with sun-roof) done at a local place last year, including repairs to the backing, for £300.

Surprised to find such a fault in a modern prestige car like yours, a problem normally associated with old motors

There is a lot of more modern cars suffering the same economic fabrication problems. Some as young as 7yr old....

I stapled mine! Doesn't look too botchy.

My mrs helped do mine. Did it outside on the patio table. Surprisingly it looks quite good with only a couple of creases. Complete kit from Martrim for less than £100.

Indicative of the crap manuf. are turning out in the expectation that people will spend their hard-earned on.

Ditto down to the missus helping and patio lol. Nowhere near as bad a job as I thought it would be.
