Headlining clips

Post by NicBeeee »

Hi,

After removal of the saggy vinyl covered mdf headlining we have decided to go down the perforated headlining route, just wondering if anyone knows where you can get just the clips from for the rods, we have a few missing and I have plenty of steel rod to fabricate the rods so buying a full kit seems a little wasteful. :ok

Cheers
Nic

Make sure the new steel rod has a protective coating on suchlike on it because any condensation will soon make it sweat and rust marks will soon show onto the new headlining :(

Good point, though I shall be using stainless rod it wouldnt harm to sheath them before use to stop condensation building up. Thanks for tip
