For Sale - Short/Medium Term Saggy Headlining Solution

Postby BigCatXJS » Tue Jul 21, 2009 1:34 pm

Hi All,
My recent purchase (Daimler Six) had a sagging headlining just above the rear seats. Getting the headlining replaced looked like a really expensive experience that I'd rather avoid at the moment. For those wondering, the headlining on my XJ-S is just fine :>)

I have found an very good solution to the saggy headlining that has worked a treat for my Daimler - Saggy Stoppers! These are clear plastic capped (about 4mm diameter) cork-screw items that simply screw into the headlining, thus securing the headlining and keeping it in place. No tools are required and it only took me 10 minutes to sort.

Saggy Stoppers are not available in the UK, and ordering from the States is a nightmare (minimum order size, don't ship overseas etc).

Fortunately, I was eventually able to get hold of 8 packs (each pack contains 8 stoppers). I have only used 2 packs, so have 6 packs available for sale. I am asking for £5 a pack plus postage. Please PM me if interested.

Thanks, Rich.

Rich,

Have you got any pics of the headlining secured with these items? I'm sure members might be interested to see how they work.

Hi Paul,
Sure - if I had been organised, I would have taken before and after pics :D

Well - I certainly can take pics of how the Daimler looks now. Bear with me; I'll look to sort in the next couple of days.

Cheers, Rich.

Hi All,
So I have (finally) got around to uploading a couple of pics.

These may be found at http://www.richardjamestrading.co.uk/Public/
Choose "Big Cat Diary + 5 Albums in the category", then scroll down to "Daimler Six"

There are two photos there.

Thanks, Rich.
