Andy > I've heard of small holes made in the fabric (enough for a fine straw nozzle), and spray fabric/carpet contact adhesive used with some limited success, or small screw in plastic studs added into the fibre headlining backing through the fabric (creates a buttoned look). also heard of staples through the lining into the fibre for small areas, but it can look messy for larger areas. In the end, the only real solution is to remove the headlining, and recover using new foam backed headlining material. If you have a hatch, you are at the advantage, because you don't need to remove the rear screen to remove it. I too will need to start looking at solutions soon, because I have several small saggin patches, in the rear corners, and above the rear view mirror. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
