Hi I think that it is the inside roof lining that is falling down.
I think that this problem is standard for the Murena . Mine roof lining was hanging loose for many years before I finally repaired. Somebody noticed that the roofing was hanging down, and I had to reply that it had been like this for the 10 years I have had the car. Then I decided to fix it. I took the complete inner roof lining out of the car. You will have to remove the rear-view mirror, the sunscreens and the rubber around the doors. There must be some screws at the back I do not remember exactly. Then I placed the hard shell (some fibre material) up side down on a table and fulled the cloth off completely, covered the hard shell with some special glue for carpets. In order to be sure that the cloths got good contact with the fibre shell I covered the whole thing with 10 cm dry sand, and left it over night.

My headlining is drooping and needs to be sorted out to get veteran status for the car. Has anyone else done this recently and have any more tips (what screws at the back?). The dry sand sounds like a good idea.

Thanks! That's excellent ![Smiley](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) What sort of adhesive did you use to stick the lining back on? Any more info that might be helpful?

I have never done a lining recovering myself. I sourced a good secondhand roof lining panel covered in the right material from Simon in Germany. However this is the glue that is suitable for the brushed nylon headlining supplied by Woolies in the U.K: http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/p-1554-high-heat-resistant-aerosol-adhesive.aspxAnd here is their headlining materials: http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-93-brushed-nylon.aspxI have seen Darrens roof where he has removed the lining completely and actually lined the roof panel itself and it does look excellent. So much so that it looks factory fit O.E. I did consider this for mine but I wanted to keep the originality of sunvisors and interior light which I know you will have to in Switzerland. As an aside if your door seals have worn through where your feet rub getting in and out the car these are the perfect replacement: http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/p-1282-plush-sponge-snappon-door-seal-black.aspx

I've had a look today at the headlining and the screws at the back are no problem. However, at front, there are plastic caps. I assumed that these were just over the screws and that they would lever off easily. That is not the case. Pic in the link: https://flic.kr/p/mucxq9I have attemepted to remove them using two flat screwdrivers - one inserted under the edge on each side. Still won't move. Can anyone please tell me how exactly these caps are located and how to remove them? I'm worried that exerting more force could break something...
