For the kids: Perkins Paste - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jock: Looks as if the existing cardboard (or whatever it is) roof lining was recovered in the carpetty stuff, yeah ? Do you know what the actual product is ? Is it like that marine carpet stuff ?
oh, and what does the light mount to ?
When I did my Rangie (probably 25+ years ago) I used 3M spray on one section and Selleys "quick grip" on the other - my advice would be use the "quick grip"Quote:

I cant remeber the name of the stuff, but yeh it is a bit like marine carpet but nowhere near as dense and stiff.
If i get a chance on Monday ill ring up the blokes who did it and ask for you if you like? :)
When the lining is dropped out, all you have to do is unclip the wiring from the light and then there are two nuts that have to be undone on the actual light. There are two studs that come out from the light and these just bolt onto a backing plate i think that is on the topside of the lining.
I would drop the whole lining out again and take some pictures for you but it was a ***** to put in sorry :(
Hope that helps
Did you ever happen to find out ?Quote:

Ill put a reminder in my phone, and call them tomorrow.
I had the SIII upholstered in marine carpet, which has worked well so far (about 20 years).
BrendanB had his Defender done with a sound deadening material and then upholstered over that. When you tap on the roof of his car (outside) it shounds like a "dull thud" compared to a "tinny ring" when you tap on a regular Defender (okay it's not a "tinny ring", but it is compared to the "dull thud"). But that wasn't cheap.
Rang up for you this morning.
Solo Auto Pile - Soft. Is the correct term. Solo being the brand. But the fella said its basically Un backed carpet
Hope this helps
There was a post some time ago ?on this forum from someone who had used FrontRunner. It's unbacked and is used as an interior lining in boats and is the stuff often used to line office partitions. I've seen it in boat shops.
Whitworths sell something called "Hull Liner" - - two colours - light grey and tan.

bump. For me :)
Thanks for the info guy's, I ripped mine out to fit a overhead consoul & was just about to start looking for marine carpet or similer to gue up there. Hope it will dull the echo from the road noise.:)
