Can anyone help with come pics of how their roof lining fits up around the rail that follows above the rear qtrs windows and then across to front doors?
 
Would like a close up version of these shots if anyone can help.

Are these any good to you? Was a bit dark in the shed so I took some without the flash and some with.
If you need better ones let me know and I'll uncover the car and back it outside.

Does anyone have any pointers on the best way to get the lining to grab in rail above rear qtr windows like in hak073's pics?

I've done a few mk1 roof linings now and the way I've come up with once all the old pieces are removed is use contact adhesive on the hood liner only and gently but with slight force using a plastic filler applicator or credit card push the fabric into the grab rail where there's jagged teeth for it to grip to.

Cheers

Ok if that's the case then I feel that my rails may have been levered out slightly at some point as even folding the lining over and trying put push a big plastic bog spatula up there still wont get it to grip on the teeth.
 
I might have to try and carefully lever it in a little before trying again.
 
Thank Martin.
