Hi chaps, I have bought a replacement headlining kit for the cab of our Westy conversion and want advice on how to fit it. The kit is prestitched and I have two rods, but only one witches hat.
How do i attach it at the front - is it simply tucked behind the windscreen seal, or glued and tucked? What glue should I use: I have loads of MVM high temp carpet glue, or Evostick contact adhesive?
How do I get it behind the clamp things along the side over the front doors? Is an old credit card the thing to push it in with?
How do I attach the rear edge along the roof in front of the aperture for the pop top? Is it simply glued up?
Regarding the witches hats, I have struck out finding replacements and was debating using corks: any ideas?
Tips for fitting new cab headlining please?

Yes the lining is tucked into the screen seal
at the rear there's a row of bendable clips.
I can get you some hats from Busfest, loads there

Shaun
the headlining is fitted before the windscreen and is glued to the frame of the windscreen before the seal is fitted
Should be a few witches hats in my boxes of bits

Brilliant, thanks chaps. I'm at Busfest anyway, but maybe I can get across to you Aidan, either today or Monday?
