Re: R3 Headliner Sunroof Aperture Plastic Trim Problem

Does anyone have any ideas how the solve this problem?

It's getting to the point where I might have to live with it and hope it doesn't cause any problems, such as wind noise.

As always, thanks in advance.

Re: R3 Headliner Sunroof Aperture Plastic Trim Problem

PS I assume I'm correct in thinking that the two spring loaded guides are meant to fit inthe uppermost groove?

Re: R3 Headliner Sunroof Aperture Plastic Trim Problem

Oh dear, the 218iS is still in bits. My ongoing fatigue has hampered progress, although I had managed to get the headlining refitted along with various fittings. I didn't notice it initially, but unfortunately there's a concave gap either side, which clearly isn't right. It certainly isn't present e...

Re: Battery charging Auto electrician advice needed

I just wanted to get rid of the faff of getting the charger and extension cable out and setting it all up every couple of weeks, thats of course if i remember to do that before it won't start again. :laughing2 I just don't know if the solar panel idea would work. Cheers Bean I've often wondered abo...

I hope you put them straight!

And yes, it is a shame about certain makes taking over, even if it does bring in extra money for the Abbey.

Re: Pershore Plum Car Show 2025 - August Bank Holiday Monday

I had a quick wander around this morning before it got to hot and busy. I don't think there were as many as last year, although there were a number of unusual and interesting vehicles I hadn't seen before. The number of 'modern' Rovers was disappointing, but there was a late 45 in Seafrost Blue? A l...

I won't object to them. I'm just about old enough to remember seeing their last concert on the tv.

If you're unlucky, might see you again......provided I don't drop off!

Re: R3 Headliner Sunroof Aperture Plastic Trim Problem

I think I have found a solution, after looking at the headlining in my 25 Impression S3. The clips actually retain the plastic trim to the sunroof tray, not to the headlining material. The material and backing board is merely sandwiched between the two. I hope that helps :) Sir, you are an absolute...

Blimey, I would never have thought of that. I will have a look.

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to investigate.
