Hi guys,
Please offer tips on anything and everything!
Start at back, start at rear? Just pay someone else!
Thanks

Just to underline one thing, though I believe this is also mentioned in the previous posts on this subject, choose your headlining carefully.
Not all new replacement headlinings fit very well and you can spend many frustrating hours trying to 'make a silk purse out of a sows ear'.....
So the first thing is if someone reading this can recommend to 'bigchris1' a decent supplier, that they know of / have had experience of, that will give him a good place to start from.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Are there different manufacturers of headlinings? I would doubt it frankly. As far as I know every supplier simply purchases these from Newton Commercial

I fitted one from esm, there are a couple of small wrinkles at the c post (original wasn't perfect either) but generally I was pleased with how it fitted.
