[Vwdiesel] Rabbit headliner question

[boyer at cts.com]

Backing board is held in place by the dome light and the black trim
around the door openings and hatch opening.  the front part is held
in place by the trim fascia...fastened by three or four screws.
Pull the A pillar plastic (if app'l) to make room to pull the fascia
up front.

Don't relue the headliner.  Strip the old one off and buy new
material at an upholstery shop.  It's a two part covering with a
foam base and fabric adhered to that.  The foam turns to pieces and
you can't reglue to it.

I've done several.  Drop a note if you have questions.  New material
is about $10 a yard.  I used the Scotch 80808(?) adhesive.  Only
8's and 0's in the stock #...not sure of the order.
