Defender head lining

[100SRV]

The centre headlining on our 110" station wagon is all saggy. I was lucky a couple of years ago and found a complete headlining set on an auction siter which had been removed from a retrimmed newer station wagon. This was a bargain at £250.

The front and rear sections fitted OK but we were unable to get the centre section to fit even with a lot of struggling, as a result it still has the saggy centre section. Found out the other day that the passenger's shower is a result of water collecting in the inside roof ledge so the headlining will have to be removed to find and fix this...hence revisiting repair of the centre section which now looks like it belongs over a four-poster bed.

Looking at the available options to rectify:
1. A new centre headlining - not cheap
2. OEM developments have thermopressed items - a complete set is the same cost as just a new centre section!
3. Re-trim the centre section with fabric (e.g. Martrim advertise a kit).

Thoughts are that if I am retrimming the centre section I'll have to remove it anyway, maybe replacing is a better bet?

Has anyone fitted an OEM developments headlining set?
Open to suggestions here...

Just redone the headlining of my RRC using a Martrim kit. Would use them again.

Thank you, I'll give them a ring...
