Saggy hood lining

[NOZ]

Any suggestions where to get a saggy hood lining fixed in Brisbane at a decent price ?

Any motor trimmer should be able to do it.

Forget trying to glue it back up - been there done that. The foam backing on the cloth breaks down so you would be wasting your time to attempt a repair.

I pulled the roof out and glued it up but it didn't last. I took it to a motor trimmer and he pulled it all out again and re-did it with new cloth for $200 - and that included refitting it.

The far superior appearance of a job properly done will soon negate any bad thoughts about the cost.

The P38A is starting to sag in a couple of spots so will need doing soon(ish).

Let me know if you find a place.

Yep will do :wink:

If you pull it out / put it in yourself, try a mobile guy. Tell him it will be waiting on saw horses for him, he just has to cover 'em. Makes it a lot cheaper.

Try finding a pre 1993 Disco hoodlining - it's of a different construction and never falls down - You can scrub it and it will look like new. It needs a bit of persuasion to get it in, but looks 100%. If it gets creased, wet it with a hose, and let dry out over a few days.

while it is down, stick a heap of sunroofs in, helps stop future sagging, and increases the trucks value,

I think my budget might stop me at the hood lining, :cry:

[Steinzy]

My rangie needs new lining so keen to see a cost if you find someone :wink:

[NOZ]

Only had 1 price so far $300

Mine needs doing as well, maybe a bulk purchase order will bring the price down. There is a guy on the coast advertises from $100 but the upper limit is not stated so I don't hold much hope of a cheap price. Works from his front driveway too.

I've heard marine upholsterers do a good job on headlinings. Only a passing comment from a friend.

[NOZ]

It might not be a bad angle to ask a trimmer what the price would be if we directed some potential extra business his way

Would anyone be interested in committing to do there hood lining so I could use a number as leverage for price?

I for one would

[TonyB]

Could be interested in a Defender Roof Lining

Mine collapsed when the Moon Window got broken. The Insurance Asscessor would not authorise repairs as it's a common fault.

Grrrrr! Mine was fine until the accident.

[NOZ]

Might be a bit hard for you unless you would be prepared to drive to Brisbane ?

[x-box]

Currumbin Trimmers on the Gold COast does a good job, someone else from this forum has gone there before. I'll try to get a price this week, as my defender desperately needs the roofliner done. Will keep you posted...

[Steinzy]

I'll be in for lining as well

[Outlaw]

and me too for the disco :cry:

[NOZ]

Best price for a Disco I have found is $200 + gst, still looking :wink:

[Steinzy]

I think that you'll find that $200 - 250 is pretty average

[NOZ]

Still working on it Steinzy :wink: It started at $300

Hi Zoz,
You might need to add two more to that list. Ive now of one place near Moss street that ive used a couple of times for other things might ask when i go pass next.

[NOZ]

Yep cool, who ever can find the right price

[Coastie]

The price is getting interesting, how long would it take to get done?

Does that also include remove and refit or do we have to do that?

[NOZ]

It would be drive in drive out, but just trying to find someone who is keen to give a club type discount

[Kenjo]

I'll be back on the Gold Coast 2nd week in April.
I've been meaning to get the Disco roof relined for a couple of years now. I'll be in it if anyone comes up with a good value job.

[NOZ]

Didnt get a chance to make some more enquires today, so maybe more prices tomorrow :wink:

[Steinzy]

Thanks for your efforts so far :wink:

[NOZ]

No biggy Steinzy, couple of $$ for phone calls and an hour or two of time and hopefully someone will do us a deal 8)
