As most of you disco owners will know the roof lining sags down after a time.
this is due to the glues and such drying out and letting go.
Well this may not be the greatest fix but it works.
This is how my roof looked before,
this is where the sunroof would have been if I had one.

And a differant angle

And here is the answer, easy to get too.
These ones cost me $5.00 because they are coloured as close to my roof as I could get, but plain black ones are cheaper.

Simply drill a hole that is smaller than the pins, and then push the pins into place.
Tape the roof before drilling to stop the drill grabbing the lining, and use a very slow speed.
Dont need to even push really, once through the fabric the foam is very soft.
And this is the finished product.
I know it isnt the greatest look but it works and only cost me $10 so I am happy.

The worst one was right over my head when driving, now it is back where it should be

I have only done the sunroof area and above both centre pillars, I will be doing the back later but it isnt to bad for now.
