Replacing the detached roof of a Volkswagen Golf is certainly not a simple task: it is a complex procedure, and we recommend having it done by a professional. However, this is the procedure.

First of all, we need to remove the roof rack from the car roof: in fact, glue and silicone will never give good results, on the contrary, they will worsen the situation. We remove the fabric and also all the sponge, clean perfectly and then of course we will have to get a new piece of fabric suitable for the purpose: we can find it on E-bay with the code 165093087265, where a piece 100x150 costs 10.90 euros with free delivery.

We spray glue on both the roof and the fabric, then we make it adhere perfectly. Now comes the most delicate moment: cutting the excess fabric and making the holes, then we can put the roof rack back in place.
