Putting In New Headlining Into Composite Roof

[rizla603104]

So I have finally got my hands on a composite roof. The old headlining is missing. Can anyone send me an image of what the headlining looks like and also the best place to get some replacement material? Thanks!

I don't have a pic of mine and its not the original but mine is just alcantara glued to the under side of the roof.

Not original, but exactly the same.

 

 

This is the original

Thanks guys. Vulcan - I take it that once sewn up it is glued back in place? Did you do the stitching yourself or . . . was it difficult? Also what glue would you recommend?

High temp spray glue, it gets very hot and you don't want it sagging!

A lotus friend in AZ made a batch of them years ago before he sold his Lotus and quit the scene.  He sewed the fabric to a foam, and then sent the finished panel.  I just had to glue it on with the 3M spray adhesive and put the latches back on.

Thanks guys for your help. The roof is being sprayed to match the car at the moment and so this will be next on the list.
