How to fix a sagging headliner in a Lotus Elise or Exige

A few of the Lotus folks asked for a more detailed Do It Yourself video of my Lotus Elise headliner repair which I mentioned in my 10 DIY Quarantine video. So here you go, this walks you through the process to fix a sagging headliner on an Elise or Exige — though this is only the part at the front where the hard top meets the windshield. You *should* be able to use a similar process for the headliner on the hard top though I believe you will need to drill out the rivets holding the hardware where the rain gutters mount and then re-rivet that back on. So the hardtop itself is a little more involved but I suspect a similar approach would work. Luckily my hard top headliner is still in good shape so I only needed to do this piece.

But I take no responsibility if you screw this up! Be ready to take it to a professional if you need to.

Looks good thx for vid. I tried to re-line my full top. A few failed attempts and I gave up and just painted it with truck bed liner. Looks good and I don't worry about it getting dirty anymore from all the track time. Just another option!

My daughter had decorated the walls behind me for her birthday, in case anyone is wondering wtf that stuff is. 😉
