How to Glue the Car Roof Fabric Without Removing It?

Model: Seat Leon MK 3, 5F - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, two temporary solutions are presented for gluing the roof, or headlining (the fabric part) of the car for just a few pence. The repair done this way is only temporary, and for a permanent solution, removing the headlining fabric is essential. However, as an emergency solution, we can adopt the two strategies shown in the video. The first involves re-gluing the headlining using metal pins, inserting them 15 cm apart. The second, which is definitely more durable, involves self-tapping screws instead of pins.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
