Its a tricky job , you have to remove the windows and door seals , the 'rods' going through the cloth are colour coded so remember where they go when you come to fit to the new cloth , you fit the rods to the cloth and then fit the complete lining to the car by clipping the rods into the correct holes , the cloth will then be hanging and needs to be tensioned this is done ny glueing the front and rear edges to the screen appertures , fit the screen seals next and move to the sides again, tension the cloth to the sides and glue again holding in place by using the door seals and side window seals , refit and re-seal the screens and screen fillers , as I said its tricky but do-able with paitence ,
