well, might actually need some help for jimbo kneebone (pillarless jim) to be able to sign in too....

jim is having much trouble with the L Sedans fabric hoodlining falling about messing up his hair.
Gravity is not on his side. I would suggest he drain fluids from car and mak a rotissarie for sedan to solve that problem so his spray glue works.

Any tips while he sorts his posting problem ?

The OEM roof lining shrinks, causing it to pull off and fall.
Rather than inverting the car, he should get rid of the current roof lining, buy some new stuff, its cheap, then spray glue it on.
Although inverting the car would make it easier.

Um, think there is roof linings and roof linings in the L's ...didn't wagons get moulded and sedans got fabric ? I'm $ure it would be no drama for an upholsterer to knock up and fit in a new lining to really set the Blubaru off - Jim, if you got access to here ??

Could be another difference between touring wagons/higher optioned cars and the normal low roof wagons and povvo pack sedans. My Dad's L has a moulded vinyl with foam backing roof lining, the touring wagon I had briefly had cloth, held in place in a few spots by thumb tacks

You should be able to remove the entire foam roof lining section from the car, I know you can with the MY's. Remove all the retaining trim pieces around the edges, remove the light and it should pop out I think. Alot easier to then strip off the old fabric and spray glue on some new stuff in whatever colour you want.
