There will be a few threads on that on this site. Some guys have fixed it themselves but the most common is to get a motor trimmer to do it for a couple of hundred $.

Try a search.

Not many Series 1's have roof lining, It must be a fancy one lol

I see you mean you Disco series 1 and the only way to fix it properly is to have it retrimmed or replaced.

All of them do it, mine is doing it in where the sunroofs would go and my solution is to just not look at it.

I have seen people try spray adheasive and kwik grip etc but it normally is because the the foam that shapes the roof lining starts to crumble and the glue actually stays stuck to what it is meant to be stuck to but what it is stuck to has fallen.

I used small course threaded screws in our old EA falcon to hold it's roof lining up, looked like id done a studded pattern in the roof which gave the EA a bit of a custom look so to speak but I dont think I will be doing that to the Disco.

Hi if you can remove the the lining from the truck and clean it down, you know remove all traces of old glue and foam bit of a dirty job but a lot less to when it comes to retrimming, I got mine done quite resonably priced just on $160 and a good match as well.
hope this helps.

Is this a problem in D2s?
