    Hi, The headliner in my 488GTB has developed a droop, I guess the glue has let go. Anyone know of an upholsterer in Perth or South West WA who could help? Would prefer someone with experience on Ferrari’s.
    Thanks in advance.

    No but I'm sure he'd offer his 'services' if requested.

    Asking, is the headliner the standard nasty scourer pad like material or full leather ?

    Nasty scourer pad, coming down at sunvisor area but i guess it will work its way back.

    Good luck with it. Just make sure either go to a company that firstly knows how to disassemble the 488 . If not go to Ferrari.

    A pillars need to be removed and with that to remove them there are sections of the dash that need to be removed :(

    B pillars are easier

    OK good to know, thank you. Off to Ferrari for a service next week so I guess I will have them take a look at it, haven’t had much luck finding upholsterers in WA with Ferrari experience.

    It's becoming a common problem, the EU has banned acetone based glues. The water based glues seem to fail with sustained high temperatures.

    The people in the UAE must feel at home with tent-like roof liners in their cars
