Have read the common threads area, seems like the fix is to have an the lining removed and replaced.

Has anybody had this done and able to recommend an upholsterer in Sydney, prefer north or north west suburbs.

Thanks in advance.

I just bought a second hand one of ebay the last time i needed to do it. And untill i found one i just used dress making pins to hold up and tidy up the roof

This may be of some interest to you; I had a '94 Defender cab chassie ute body.The roof lining came away from the pressed preformed mould that was attached to the roof. I took the whole preformed section from the roof; I opened a small section between the material and the preform large enough to insert my hand and used some Selleys AQUADHERE wood working glue and spread it all over the area that had seperated. The material that the preform is made from appears to be made from a reconstituted cardboard material. This glue is designed for wood and cardboard comes from a wood base. It has worked. After applying the glue I used many bricks to "press" the material back on via the glue.

I didn't realise you made dresses

Another solution is to replace the roof lining with a pre 94 Disco lining. It fits with only a few mods, and if dirty can be scrubbed and washed. ( Worked for me)

don't joke, family business is sewing machines and my dad Used (and now i do ) own a compnay in the Uk which imports Horn sewing machine cabinets from S/A to the UK
So yea i can use a sewing machine as i used to have to sell them as a kid on saturdays

My D2 lining is sagging more and more.
I was considering using the sod busters new wire to fix it.

Mine has sagged too. I used about 8 xmas tree trim plugs in selected places, namely round the sunroof indents, which seems to have cured the problem for now.
