Head lining

Post by Nax »

Hello, Can anyone tell me how the wires securing the head lining are usually held in place
Mine are just loose wires and the new head lining is an unfinished job by the previous owner

Basically just screws into the body shell; in the corners at the side of the glove boxes and at the rear parcel shelf.
The section below the rear window is covered by a board fitted with matching liner material.

The wire around the rear window is also held by 2 screws.

Thanks,
Nothing there at the moment just a hole next to the wire
I was hoping there might be some kind of tensioning device

The tensioning is by means of self-tapper screws - these screw into the holes you mention. Sounds like yours are missing.
