Affordable Solutions to Repair a Sagging Car Headlining

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Body

If the headlining of your older car has sagged, there are a few affordable solutions: the first is to use office pins or screws with washers (not the prettiest solution), at virtually no cost; the second, which is better if done with a bit of care, involves using covered buttons that can be easily found on e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon with code B0CRYT3DZC, where the entire kit costs £11.89 with free delivery. A third solution involves removing the upholstery, completely scraping it off the roof, cleaning everything well, and leaving it in a raw state: if you want to improve it a bit, you could paint it. It may not be beautiful, but at least it will be clean and tidy.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
