Thread: saggy headlining

Not sure,

But Landrover did perfect the saggy headlining in the earlier Rangies - maybe they thought it was a good thing and incorporated it into the Discos [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Mick-Kelly,

From what I gather not a frequently a posted problem.

There have been reports of the cloth separating from the foam and the odd case of the foam letting go.

What model years are showing this?

I have a Defender cousin who has the cloth separating from the foam in his.

I hope that it doesn't happen to me I have enough trouble with dask curl there wouldn't be any room left inside if that happened as well! :wink:

I hope the covetted Tdi shapes up.

Clever, but evil, Pommy boffins continued the fashion trend into Defenders, too. No 3 son's Deffie headlining looks like an asymmetric spinnaker at the moment.

Anyone know of a good trimmer in Melbourne's east?

my 97 disco had a saggy liner, foam and backing separated

Try this link, might help

Bazzle :wink:

It seems to be on a range of discos from about 94 to 97. ive probably looked at about a dozen in the last week and roughly half had it. it seemed to be falling down from the edges or the step in the roof, both foam and cloth together. Ive had it before on a magna after a hot spell aparently the glue dries and turns to powder.
I dont imagine that it will be a great issue as I imagine that the car yard will cover it but i was just curious.
cheers

That figures.

Some adhesives crystalise over time and in combination with humidity "give up the ghost".

If anyone saw that pommy show where three teams modify a car and race it, you would have seen the contestants being driven around the cource in the shows Rangie. It was so stuffed the guys looked like they were sitting in a badly erected tent.

My 97 Disco lining is sagging a bit now and getting worse as we speak. The VN I had did the same thing at 10yo butr it only cost $150 for a trimmer at Archerfield to replace it ( made the inside look like new) so I'll probably take the Disco to them as well.
