Well, I've finally replaced my torn sunroof headliner after about 3 yrs of putting it off.
I could not source the original cobolt blue liner material and had planned on just going with black.
I then purchased a replacement liner in black, but it turned out the vinyl wasn't much better than the one I had; which was torn.
In the end I just grabbed a piece of fabric that my wife had lying around, glued it up and stuck it in.
So far I'm thrilled! I love having the sound insulation back in place and, somehow, I think it looks great!
It'll be easy enough to change if it comes to annoy me, but for now I think it's kind of fun.
I guess she's finally all mine!

You don't even want to know what Porsche would have charged for that;-)

well... for a Porsche it is a little... baroque.
Of course, it could be that such genius is simply lost on me.
And, like the king in Amadeus, I can only muster, "too many notes!"

I've been kind of fed up with all of the work and money I've had to spend on this pig in the last few years. It was supposed to be a "well sorted car" when I bought it. I was nieve; and paid the price.
Well she's nearly sorted now with just a "few" more big ticket items to go; I hope!
Any way, I'm heading out later today with about 15hrs of driving ahead of me for the week. I really wanted the liner back in. I thought it'd be a goof to put the fabric in and am surprised how much I like it.
You can only see it when you get inside the car. It's kind of like the funky liners that go inside a sport coat or suite jacket.
I'm finally starting to feel like it's just a car; my car, and I can do what ever I want with it.
The car still makes me smile every time I turn the key, and that's a good thing.
Cheers
