Re: Headlining/vinyl adhesive

I tend to use Evo Stik contact adhesive. Just make sure its the solvent based stuff otherwise you spend half the day waiting for it to go off. Bought some of this today on recommendation of my local upholsterer. Have to recover my sunroof frame, haven't used it yet though but he uses it on leather ...

Ditto! Had one myself, it was my first 'S' Capri & I loved it, even though it was highland green with brown interior, it was an S & that's all that mattered to me, would love it even if I owned it now.
Good luck with your project :)

Wow, you did say you had some holes in the floor, I thought it was only in UK we had that sort of issues. Even more impressed now with your long journey home!
