Head lining the car with his hands
Many motorists are faced with such problems as severe pollution plating salon favorite car. In some cases, you can apply to the services of cleaning, but she is not omnipotent, as the sheathing material eventually loses its quality. The only solution in this case - the neck interior. The idea is that you can refer to specialists, but in order to save money would be prudent to do the job himself. If the update shell doors more or less simple and clear, then to the waist of the ceiling should be approached, armed with some knowledge of the subtleties of the work. Immediately I must say that this process requires very great care and patience, but with these problems should not be, because we do the work for themselves first. All items must be neatly folded into one place, thus preventing their loss and protecting their nervous system from large mental exertion occurring during the search nestled trivia. The first step is to turn off all the handles, visors and caps. Very often not careful removing these items remain on the surface traces of the tool, so it is better to spend a little more time, but maintain their aesthetic appearance. It should be remembered that the plastic eventually loses its quality, becomes brittle, which can cause damage to parts and unplanned expenses. After that we remove all the interior lights that are on the ceiling. Previous illuminators disconnects from the network, for which they have connections. Then remove the plastic laths on racks. It needs to be done, as covering, in most cases, comes under them. Even if you managed to dismantle the ceiling without removing them, then the assembly will have to do it anyway. If you have a car with a hatchback or wagon body, the removal of the ceiling is made through the trunk, if the classics, there will be a little harder, but also solved. Removing the ceiling begin to work with the very cladding material. Take the new trim and glue it to the old with the help of glue. There should be absolutely smooth surface without folds and wrinkles. Better just to try, so how to fix something then it will be difficult. For the further work required a sharp knife, scissors, masking tape. Protruding edges of the new skin tucks inside and fix the tape. After that cuts through all the holes, bending the resulting ends and securing them with the back side. Well, now you can begin to build. Mount the trim into place, connect the lamps, install them in the regular places. Put in place all caps, pens, visors. All work is completed. It is desirable to stand the car about a day that will glue the most heavily grab and take the material necessary form. In conclusion, I must say that all the materials used in the waist compartment, can be purchased at stores selling spare parts and the markets. Now on sale a large selection of mats with different textures and colors. Necessary glue can also be found in the departments of sound insulation of these outlets.
