i made my own headliner out of black vinyl for my t3...it looks awesome and cost $40...all i did was grabbed my mum:P and her sewing machine, used the
old as a template and then used the higher grade thick cotton.like $14 a reel. used 2 reels, so it really cost bout sixty bucks, but personally i
think compared to a $800 one...mine looks pretty damn good.
havent herd of a headlining tool...whats it supposed to do?

The manual mentions the need for a headling tool, i think it is just used to stuff the lining into the corners and aukward bits!!
Thanks for your words, it sounds like a plan as I have also been quoted $800 for installation. I will probably buy a kit as they are only $70 and
spend another fun day with my bug!

It would seem a shame to end this thread without catching a glimpse of a "headlining tool", so:
"STUFFS HEADLINING EDGES INTO LOCKING CHANNEL AND OTHER TRIM EDGES
INTO HARD TO REACH PLACES. BLUNT EDGE OF TOOL CANNOT DAMAGE
MATERIAL, FINE FOR PRESSING LANDAU TOP EDGES INTO RAIN GUTTER."

The Motor Trimmers that I have used, just use a 25mm and 50mm paint scraper with the sharp edge ground off.
