Berlina Headliner Repair
The headliner in my 'new' Berlina is in pretty good shape. No sagging and only
a couple small tears. It's been stained in a couple places, looks like some
moisture leaked through. I have two questions:
1. Can anyone recommend a good stain remover that won't damage the headliner?
2. Can anyone recommend a method for fixing tears (that's t-airs)?
I spent a couple hours cleaning the interior, getting what dirt I could off the
headliner, dash and shining up the trim around the gauges. I was amazed that
I was able to get most of the corrosion off of the trim and make it all shiny
again.
The next step, well for the interior at least, is to find a backseat
(specifically the backrest part) for it and if I'm lucky some door panels. Also
the guy I got it from pulled off the wood veneer off the center console and
replaced it with black vinyl. Ugh. I have the old peices but they are a bit
trashed. I'm going to head to a carpenters supply place and find some that
matches the original and replace the vinyl.
All and all my poor little Berlina just needs some TLC.
