Hello everybody

Does anyone have any tips on refitting roof linings?

It seems to have shrunk...

Cheers

Get down WH Smiths for some little bulldog clips to hold it up while you glue it...

Take your time.

As jon says, bulldog clips are a must, start at the front then the back, do the sides last.

If you can't afford/be bothered using bulldog clips, chop some small {2"} pieces of window seal up and use these to hold it tin place.

I prefer the tiny buldog clips as these allow you to get round the corners more easilly, and pull the lining easier. Buy at least 50 - ideally 60 of them.

Re the linings, I've done four now.... And only now can i say I'm getting good at them. They're reasonable easy to get alright, but very difficult to get perfect. I spend around 12 hours over three evenings on the last one!

You need a hairdryer to heat the lining around the outer 9/12", which allows you to pull it REALLY tight.

That said - sounds like you're using an old one, so it should be a doddle!
