Help repairing ripped trim?

**Angus** · 07-13-2016, 03:39 PM

Ok, so long story short - last week one of the strings that pull an inside piece of my convertible`s rear headliner back when the top is in operation broke causing the headliner part to come loose and dig into the rear trim:

Err. Many many swear words were said by yours truly when that happened.

String that broke:

I`ve since replaced the string but I`m not 100% sure how to go about fixing the tear. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of job?

well considering that you are a little more than the average car owner, it will probably drive you crazy if the repair does not come out perfect. So yes there are kits to repair them and I have used a few over the years and they come out decent for the average person .. i don`t think so for you .. you will look at it every time you get in the car ... go to a pro and have the piece replaced

I hear you and I know you are right, Poorboy. I wouldn`t have the self restraint stop fiddling with the repair until it`s perfect and probably would end up making it worse... :p
