My car has lived in a hot environment for most of its life and the roof lining material had started to sag from the C pillar corners and the C pillar material had come away from the plastic mould.
I have bought a complete set of new A and B pillars and I had a vein hope that I might have been able to re-glue the headlining, but after researching it it is the foam backing that disintegrates causing the fabric to drop, so I pulled the headlining out of the car yesterday and found just this. Not a big job, but one I didn't really want to do. The underside of the roof looks magnificent by the way, the hand written QA label is still there too. Surprise surprise the roof linings are NLA and I have contacted the company that made them for BMW https://www.antolin.com/en/business-overheads but hold no hope at all of finding the original material. It appears that most recommend the US company Vetranco BM134 fabric as being about 99% the same https://www.e46fanatics.com/threads/...1088753/page-4 Anybody sourced any material before, I will strip and reapply the material myself. I can post photos if there is any interest. |
