Hey Folks,

Time has come to tackle the head lining on the 69 Beetle resto, does anyone have any suggestions for where to get a good quality multi piece kit?

I've had so many hits and misses with quality of parts for this resto I don't want to risk getting another poor quality part .

Thanks Ryan

Best Quality in any interior product is TMI

Available from VVDS 02-9789-1777

try speaking to nick at outrage motortrimming on the nothside of brisy,just had this same conversstion with hm re a 58 mohair hoodlining.

BIT far to go from MEL to BNE 4 a head job

I did this myself with TMI headlining, takes some patience, allow plenty of time, and take heaps of notice how the old one comes out

Thanks fellas, had my eye on the TMI headlining but just wanted to see if anyone had any luck/problems with them or different brands.

I've got a bit of experience in upholstery but for some reason I'm nervous as hell about tackling this job.

TMI headliners are fine. Plenty of heat, start in the middle and work your way back... then work your way forward from the middle.

Heat? (I need to do mine as well )

Heat. I remember seeing it on a youtube clip I think, a professional in southern California was using some sort of steam wand. I got the impression it shrinks as it cools down and takes out any wrinkles.

Also, you can deal direct with TMI in the states. we got a full seat set with all the cushions etc, they were very helpful.

Just get a heat gun from bunnings... Like a hair dryer on steroids lol! Hair dryers don't get hot enough. Keep the whole headliner as warm as you can the whole time, as you concentrate on smaller areas when you're fixing the sides to the window openings, use the heat gun to heat up the small areas and it will enable you to pull all the wrinkles out. If you want to give it a crack then go for it, but if you want a guaranteed perfect job best take it to a professional. If your trimmer has any sort of pride in thier work, they won't let the car go unless they are happy with the result.
