My ceiling is falling down

SlyReaper · 13 Sep 2009 at 11:34

Well, the fabric covering the ceiling is. There's a sunroof, and the fabric around the rear edge of that has come loose, and there's a bit of ceiling fabric hanging down. It's annoying because apart from that, the car isn't tatty at all (might be a lie).

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? Needle and thread were my first thought, but there's not enough spongy stuff to sew it to. I can tuck it into the seam where the sunroof is, but that only ever seems to last about a day. Is there a type of glue I can try? Any options at all?

Can you not just get a new bit?

A new bit of what?

Nail gun.

Sensible option would be to use some spray adhesive. Peel it away a little more, spray adhesive, replace.

That sounds promising. Where can I get spray adhesive for fabric?

any carpet store or B@Q homebase type place should keep it.
