The Factory hood lining in the front of my panelvan is sagging away from the liner, its a moulded factory one, fabric on a backing, not vinyl, and only one piece. It looks like a big bubble in the fabric. Hot days and rotten or softening factory glue! whats the remedy! Or is it replace! Cheers. Panelvanner.

Its generally the foam behind it breaking down. Pull the material off and scrape off all the foam the cardboard backing. You can buy hoodlining material with the foam already on the back from an upholstery shop. Glue new material onto your cardboard hood lining. Thats the basics of the job.

#2 I second that. I'm an ex trimmer, we did heaps of these. Points to note would be to make sure all the old foam is scraped off properly so the original shell is nice and clean. Then the correct glue and glueing method is very important otherwise it will fall off again. Method i used was two even thin coats sprayed onto both surfaces, then left to dry. Then one more thin even coat onto one surface to re-activate it, then apply. Warning: you do NOT get a second chance with this method, but your new headlining is there to stay! Someone else will know the correct glue to use, i forget the exact code we used. Ados or Bostik. Best to buy it in a 4 litre if you can, and use a spray gun, not an aerosol or you'll be there forever.
