Default Roof Vinyl [Pics]

One of the previous owners dissembled the sunroof and peeled back the vinyl. Over time the vinyl shrunk, so now it needs to be stretched and glued back in place

It is tedious work, but it will look nice once I'm finished

(See attached pics)









There was a grab-bag of parts in the center console too:

The headliner vinyl is actually very easy to do yourself, go joans or some fabric store buy some nice vinyl... take off the hold one and trace the old onto the new with alot of extra room so you can correct it when glued on. I did this just last week

I did that with SidViscous. We replace everything in his 944 including all the vinyl. It looks great! Maybe he has some pictures somewhere…

Your car looks like a close-pin porcupine. Nice work though! That will hold real good!

Looks like you could build another car out of your ashtray.

I'll get a picture of the bottle for you tomorrow. It worked very well.
