slimjim Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Long story short, I ripped (pretty big) the head lining in the BMW Not ripped out, not put a hole in, a big zig-zag rip.... Replacement lead liners are looking VERY pricey Anyone know if a "fix" is possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R35LEE Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Have you got a pic of the damage Jim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Could retrim it I guess, get some Alcantara or similar, make the rip structurally sound and then cover the whole lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 If its affected the shape then steam helps but some clever dash repair people can do smart repairs with the headlining in situe. If it is really that bad then a retrim like Chris said. Howecer if you use a nice Alcantara then when you come to sell questions could be asked it it doesnt have an oem look to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Spoke to MidlandMars who did my leather seats and they say they can probably do it... will be about £40 and won't be invisible. It is right next to the boot, so not exactly in plain view. Will get some pics tonight.... but I think I will go for a temp repair first and if it annoys Tam or looks awful I will look into getting it replaced/re-covered completely. Been thinking about replacing her whole interior to be honest... Get her an electric setup rather than the standard one she has now. Gotta stop spending cash on the Zed first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
