If you are gluing it back, you must use a high temperature/heat proof adhesive, or it will drop down as soon as the sun shines on the roof. :pinch:

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Be a little more patient than we were taking it down from the Black-Jack Jimny? :D

It at least gave me a peep at how mine is held on matey! :beer:

Removing the roof lining and refitting without creasing it.....has to be trickier than a full gearbox strip and rebuild!


Whereabouts is the aerial to be situated Phil?

thanks again Jack,l really want the aerial in the centre of the roof,it came with a magnetic mount,but I would prefer a permanent mount,with a quick release fitting,so I can just remove the aerial,without disturbing the lead to the c.b.,though if its too much of a job,I may stay with the magnetic mount,Thanks Phil.

stick with your first plan drill the roof
(as that's what you desire and the look you want)
when it comes to personalising no job is too much ;)
stick at it then you will be happy

I was considering removing the headlining (the interior roof trim) for the purpose of installing additional vibration damping and sound insulation materials.

However, if the risk of creasing the roof trim panel is that high, I would not risk it.
Does anyone know of a proper method on how to properly remove it? On how many places is the trim glued to the roof?
After removing all side trim from the vehicle cabin, is that glue the only thing which holds the trim to the roof?

For those who have seen the roof from the inside after they removed the head liner - is there anything between the head liner and the plain steel roof sheet? I mean any sound insulation material?

Its not that hard to remove without damage, just take a bit more time and be careful.

Theres the side plastics and grab handles holding it up as well as some plastic clips here and there.

The glue is like a squiggle on the front and back flatter sections. There is nothing else in there apart from the glue. I put some sticky backed foam insulation in there (designed for wooden floors), which works a treat and was pretty cheap. Found there was no need to glue it back in place either.

The Dynamat type stuff is no doubt better.

Thank you for the info.

Was there any original insulation between the headlining trim and the roof metal panels when you removed it?

What is (approximately) the maximum thickness of insulation padding which could fit in between without obstructing normal placement of the head lining trim back into its position?

There was no insulation in there apart from the headlining itself. There is plenty of space, maybe a 5mm thick product would fit easily enough in between and not cause any issues.

I used the space to fit a switch pod thing onto the roof for the lockers, lights, etc. plenty of space for the wiring to run down an A pillar and all not be seen or affect the shape of the headlining.
