One of the trickiest (for me anyway) jobs on the saloon was fitting the
headlining. My headlining was the "fuzzy felt" supplied by old Quantum with
the body, and I fitted it before the front and rear screens were fitted. I
suspect it will be a bit more difficult to fit with screens in place, but
appreciate your reluctance to remove them if they are ok. I glued mine in
with HIGH TEMPERATURE contact adhesive, put on with a roller, applying glue
to the centre 2ft of the roof and similarly to the fabric. After the glue
had almost dried the fabric was put in place, and then the process repeated
to 'work outwards' whilst trimming where necessary - as the fabric wasn't
wide enough to cover the whole roof and A,B and C pillars, I joined at the
top of the pillars. Try not to end up nearly fainting by breathing in the
fumes - a real danger, I just about rushed into the open air in time before
being overcome by the fumes!
Others have glued the whole lot in one go, but I couldn't summon up the
courage.........
Good Luck, Martin

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Headlining replacement
Hello all,
I'm after some hints & tips for replacing the heading in my saloon?
I've removed the old stuff as it was falling off & the previous owners
smoked, so was a bit off colour! I've got some new with a foam back to
it.
As this isn't a full rebuild the windows are still in the car & I
don't intend to remove them.
I inquired with a professional a while back & he 'quoted' about £500!!
Secondly, my car has mark 1 fiesta front suspension, how different are
the springs & dampers from the mark 2?
Thanks in advance
Mark
