Thanks for the replies, while the advice was good the important thing was that you inspired me to give it another go.
Yes Rodney I glued the lining to the bottom of the silver strip at the front and once dried I trimmed it and tucked it in before installing the rubber strip.
The hint about leaving the bows forward was a good one too.
What a prick of a job though, hope to never do it again. Actually I seem to remember saying the same thing when I put a hoodlining in my RX2, bugger I wish I had a better memory.
Now all I have to do is clean the blood of it.
Now for the back window and the rest of the interior.
thanks again to those that offered advice.
