milner Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Hi All. The headlining on my 986 sometimes drops down at the back. It appears to be coming out of the slot on the last aluminium cross rib. Ive pushed it back in again as best I can, but lowering and raising the roof a few times and it comes back out. Is there a special way to put it back in or has something which locks it into the rib failed. Anyone had this and what was the fix ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether exactly same as yours and can't remember solution but worth doing a search for 'headlining'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the baron Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Headlining, what the hell is that, get an earlier 986 then you will never have such problems. Im sure someone will be along shortly with a serious answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozen Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 as a thought.... in my 987 headlining is strapped to the roof bars using little velcro elastic loops. maybe worth opening the roof half way and un-doing the b-pillar velcro loops (so you can see inside between headlining and canvas roof) in case one or two of those have come off or maybe need re-stitching/re-attaching ?

milner Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I checked and dont think its the elastic, will have another look but it looks like I have to put the ends of the headlining into the hoop first and work back to the middle, but its very difficult to see.
