removing fluff from roof liner

Danman · Post by **Danman** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 7:30 pm

As some of the club members saw at the de wildt gtg I got myself an ifs.
the previous owner washed the roof liner in an atempt to clean it and this caused an unsightly fluff on the liner. after a while it collected dirt and really looked bad.
I was even looking at buying a new/secondhand one.

today I got an idea and tested it. seeing as I wanted to replace the liner in anycase.
I bought a old style razor R8.50 and some blades(5) R5.30 and started to "shave" the liner. After about an hour of shaving, the liner was good as new.
as can be seen in the pic of the liner the before and after(actually halfway complete).
just thought I'd share this fix. Someone out there might find this helpfull.

Works like charm...even easier is an electric hair clipper. OOOOMS did his (bakkie) roof with it...turned out very nice as well.
