Thread: how to tighten the roof lining ?

g'day Adrian;

I've got a disco series 1 not a defender, their carpet laminated on the foam lining has a reputation to delaminate ,the sagging is also due to foam, it's not riggid enought to keep the same shape, I have completely re-done mine, took it off , fibre-glassed it on roof side , took off the old crappy cloth and re-carpetted it with my choice of water proof carpet , looks a Million bucks, that's the only way I knew how to fix the sagging roof permanantly and make it look good.

Yes please, as my Defender is in need of some help in that area too.

My Defender is also suffering from this, my D1 did to and I got the hole lining replaced. Haven't worked out what to do with the Defender's yet though.

I'm probably just going to nailgun mine to the roof.... haha it'll save me a few hundred bucks! In all seriousness I also need to fix my Range Rovers lining, how did you fibreglass yours Disco owner?

never tried it but would it be possible get a can of spray glue with a flexi straw type nozle and from the edge of the lining spay in glue then support it until it's dry?

maybe things just can't be that easy?

My Rangie has drawing pins dotted all over the roof. Works well.

S/s self tappers lots of em
just kidding
wat about pulling off and adhering a nice grey boat carpet to the roof..would give more room for an overhead console

THere was an article in one of the old editions of the AULRO Newsletter which covered this. have a look in the files section
