Headlining

Post by Richard Wailling »

The headlining is just starting to come loose above the back seats of my Rover/R8 214. I'm told this can be expensive to fix but if it is not cured it will spoil an otherwise lovely car. I realise that this job will probably have to wait until the currrent workplace restrictions are eased but I would be grateful for any advice on how to get it fixed and how much it is likely to cost (I haven't yet found a local upholsterer - I live in North Yorks). Thank you - Richard

There is a great article by Jonathan Living on how to change the headlining on an R8 in the current edition of The Viking.
