I wondered if anyone has experience of the replacement headliners on Ebay £155.
They have a glassfibre backing.

never even thought about them John,

i had a 300 XJR retrimmed (£300) and my XJR TWR (£400 inc sun roof and visors), by Dave the Trimmer in Frimley, Surrey.
Bit far from you i know but well worth doing it the "correct" way. Im sure there would be someone closer with the proper skills.

I have a sag about the size of a dinner plate. Before replacing it I might try a repair I have been thinking about.
I am going to change the nozzle on the spray glue to one with a straw attachment. Then poke a tiny hole in the headliner and spray the glue in leave it for a couple of minutes then use a small roller to see if it will stick.
I may be left with a tiny mark or it may be a total waste of time can but try.

I used twist pins (upholstery pins). How often do you look at the roof? They look fine to me!

I believe they may be manufactured by Myrtle. If so, I have one of those headliners in my XJ6 and must say I'm very impressed by the quality.
