Default 928S Roof Lining

Hi Everyone. My first post as a new 928 owner. Thanks in advance for everyone who contributes advice here... its already saved me hundreds in mechanics costs.

My question relates to the inside roof lining. The front driver side and back are separating from the roof, and I suspect a slight water leak from the windscreen, or possibly the sunroof being absorbed and expanding the lining padding.

Does anyone have any experience with removing a 928 roof lining ?. Like most things, removing it is probably the easy part.... getting it back in place could be the big challenge. !.

Thanks.

I do not have any experience with the 928, however just wanted to mention if you happen to need a new windshield (nothing is nicer than a shiny new piece of glass), that would be a good time to replace the roof lining. It would probably easily slide out forward with the windshield out of the car.
Just a thought.

Welcome to this forum!
Give us more info about your car
Because i have the same problem, first open your sunroof and inspect the drains at the four corners
If the drains are ok, then follow this link
The problem on my car was the same on the post picture # 10 on this link

Proper term for that is 'headliner'.

If you search that term, you may find more info.

Thanks mate. Thats a good read. Will inspect the drain holes, and give them a clean out just in case.

The link above to the headliner removal post was great. Seems like its a complex job, but possible to do. Thx.

The headliner comes right out the door area quite easily.
