    Roof lining repair

    Hey all,

    The roof lining on my passat is just starting to coming away around the overhead compartment. When trying to put it back in place it doesn't quite have enough material to tuck back into behind the compartment.

    Has anyone else had this issue. Is it dyi job or one best left to an upholsterer?Roof lining repair-dsc_0455-jpg

    I want to catch it before it gets any worse.

    Would think a specialist as the lining would have to be stretched special tools may be needed

    Very common issue on dark colour VWs - Don't DIY it though. Leave it to the pros!
