Roof lining coming undone on 2004 model, suggestions please
Hi, the roof lining is starting to come apart on my 2004 V50. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix this myself please....or can it be professionally repaired fairly reasonably. Many thanks for any assistance.

My '04 V50 had the same issue, it started sagging badly in the middle. Impossible to 'fix' so yo uhave to replace the headliner material. Quotes to have it done were all several hundred pounds so I decided to do it myself.
Got suede effect foam backed material from Vandalized on eBay, 3.0m x 1.5m with three cans of spray adhesive all for £50. Easy enough to remove the headliner on the V50, just remove the plastic trim from the pillars, remove the handles and visors and let it drop. Lots of wires are stuck to the back of the headliner so these have to be seperated carefully as you take it down. When you pull it out the back it will have to be bent a bit but mine returned to shape with no issues. Did get some creases in the material when I put it back as it got caught by wind when i was trying to lay it and it messed it up but not too bad so that I worried about it. When it is out use this opportunity to replace the sunroof drain pipes if you have a sunroof and haven't done them already. I followed this YouTube video as a guide. <LINK> https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/pictu...ictureid=12215 https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/pictu...ictureid=12216 https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/pictu...ictureid=12217 https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/pictu...ictureid=12218 |

Regarding spray glue:~
Heat resistant is the better product here otherwise a normal type may not hold. Bob. |
