Did you cover the roof panels yourself? Was it by re-covering the existing panels? What was the fabric? What adhesive did you use? Did you remove the original vinyl covering first?
Questions, questions - always questions.
I'm interested in doing mine but have problems with the sun's heat causing the glue to lose its grip on the original vinyl covering.


Didn't do it myself, cover over the original and use the normal adhesive suitable for carpets etc. the ends of the ultra suede are clipped to the sides so they don't get loose. 2016 Defender 90 Adventure Edition

Installed the FCX leather Sunvisors, nice touch in contrast with the ultra suede headliner.

Picking up my Landy Tomorrow, the upholstery shop owner wants to have a look at it today in order to approve the car for tomorrow pickup.

Got the car today,

Ultra Suede roof installed and FCX leather visors, very classy interior.

Car goes back on Saturday to sort the front portion of the roof( slight sagging) and install Recaro CS Sportser Seats.

I had my roofling re-covered. The glue does not take to the original material too well. So it eventually starts to sag

Removed the original material, now its perfect.

Installed the Recaro's, very happy with the upgrade and totally transfers how the 4x4 feels on the road. Adds a bespoke touch to the interior, you can notice the ultra suede headliner.

After having the black headliner installed, does it "feel" more cramped in the cabin? I'm afraid it will feel dark inside and create the illusion of a smaller space.
