The roof lining in the car is cloth.
It is starting to sag a bit, so I was going to try to glue it.
Got a large needle\syringe from the chemist and was going to try to inject glue through the cloth.
I believe some members have done this.
I was wondering what glue would be most useful, it needs to be able to be injected through a .6mm needle,
thanks

I assume you are referring to a 'late' model car like a VN-VZ Commodore or EA-BF Falcon.

If that is the case, I've seen many different 'fixes' attempted, but they all are domed to failure. The problem is that the sponge/glue material between the cloth & the cardboard backing is crumbling & no glue will stick to it until it is removed.

In Sydney the going price for a whole new headlining (fitted) is $180-$200. At that price why muck around.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0

I am with Terry on this, I had our VS done by a professional when headlining started sagging.
