Vervangen hemelbekleding

Bij deze een persoonlijke TIP en uit eigen ervaring: Demonteer je hemel en LAAT het bekleden omdat bij de 2+2, de bollingen zeer lastig strak te krijgen zijn. En na verloop van tijd gaat de stof daar toch weer loslaten omdat er te veel rijwind langs gaat bij het "open" rijden.

This is not really all that difficult of a task. It's just a little time consuming and tedious.

First, go to the local fabric store and buy 2 yards of headliner material. You'll probably have to call a few places to find one that carries automotive material. 1 yard could probably do it, but get two just in case. It was $7.50/yard. Also, buy a good strong fabric glue. Make sure it reads "High Heat Resistant" on the can. I bought some glue called Tac-It, and it was designed specifically for the headliner type stuff and automotive applications.

Tools requires

• #2 Phillips Screwdriver
• Small flathead screwdriver

Parts Needed

• headliner material
• high heat resistant glue

Time Required

• approximately overnight

Steps

Bij 2+2 is stap 1c t/m i niet nodig, je kunt het hemel in het midden van de 2 bollingen iets naar beneden forceren, het hemel zal dan tussen de zijraambekleding wegschieten. Waarschijnlijk kan die niet bij een 2 zitter omdat het er te stijf tussen zit gemonteerd.

1. Pull off the trim pieces covering the headliner. This isn't as hard as it seems.
   1. Remove the A-Pillar covers by pulling the top straight towards the center of the car.
       
   2. Remove the coat hangers at the top of the B-pillars by removing the screw from each.
      
   3. Remove the B-pillar covers by removing the two plastic screws and popping them off.
      
   4. Remove the spare tire cover by removing the two plastic fasteners.
      
   5. Remove the plastic piece covering the taillights by turning the 4 plastic fasteners 90 degrees and removing them.
      
   6. Pull back the carpet from the driver rear corner and remove the tool kit.
      
   7. Remove the storage compartment by removing the two screws and pulling it out from the bottom.
      
   8. Pop off the rear speaker covers by prying them up from the rear.
      
   9. Remove the rear window trim by removing the two screws on the driver side and the one screw on the passenger side.
      
   10. Remove the rear trim piece. Pull it straight back. It is only clipped into place. Just wedge a small flathead in and pry it out. The clips are metal. The trim piece is metal. It attaches to metal. You most likely won't break anything.
       
   11. Remove the rear view mirror by removing the single screw.
       
   12. Remove the rear view mirror mount by removing the 3 screws. Je kunt hier goed zien dat de bevestiging van de spiegel in het midden van het plaatje, fragiel is. Dit breekt er makkelijk uit waardoor de binnenspiegel niet meer te bevestigen is. Draai daarom bij montage de schroef van de binnenspiegel niet te strak vast!!!
       
   13. Remove the screw holding the sun visor clips. Verwijder ook de rubberen afwerkingslijst tussen de voorruit en het hemel, gewoon lostrekken.
       
   14. Remove the sun visors by removing the two screws.
       
   15. Pull the sensor cover (if applicable) and the map lights straight down and disconnect the map lights.
       
   16. Remove the dome light cover and remove the dome light by removing the two screws holding the dome light to the headliner and disconnect. Zet je binnenverlichting uit en pas op dat je geen contact maakt anders moet je ook nog een zekering gaan vervangen.
       
   17. Pull the t-top molding out of the way. There is a screw holding it in at the top of the a-pillar. Simply pull it away from the roof horizontally.
       
   18. Remove the four screws holding the headliner to the roof.
       
   19. Pull the headliner out of the car through the trunk. (it's easier that way)
       
2. Prep the headliner backing.
   1. Rip all the old fabric off the backing if you haven't done so already.
   2. Prep the headliner for cleaning by scrubbing off all the old goop, fabric, glue from the dozen plus times you've tried to rehang the fabric. The rough side of a scotch pad works great. Or a rough scotch type pad is even better. Je kunt ook een kunststof komborstel op je haakse slijper monteren, dat gaat sneller. If you don't get all the old stuff off, you'll be redoing this in a year, if not sooner.
      
   3. Find a place that you won't care about if glue get on it. (i.e. garage floor, back patio, neighbors car, etc) and lay the headliner backing down. Your kitchen floor is not recommended. Exspecially if you are married.
       
3. Apply the headliner material to the backing.
   1. Place the new fabric over the backing to line everything up properly. Be sure to leave extra fabric for wrapping around.
      
   2. Starting from the center of the backing, apply the glue and glue the fabric as the instructions tell you.
      
   3. Continue gluing fabric as necessary until the entire backing has been covered. Be sure to pick up every so often to make sure fabric doesn't stick to the ground where the glue got sprayed/dropped/ran.
      
   4. Once the glue has dried completely, wrap the excess around and glue it on the underside (top side?). I recommend also stapling the edge to double hold the headliner in place. Staple from the top side because the main pull will be to try to rip the top back around, and the solid bar of the staple on the top will hold better. Staple close to the edge, but not so close that you risk shredding the headliner backing. Ik raad nieten niet aan, dit ga je namelijk terug zien kijk maar eens goed op de allerlaatste foto van punt 4, bij de targa lijst.
      
4. Re-install the headliner. Installation is reverse of removal.
