Hello!
today me and my dad checked out Audi 100 avant sport '90 which came from Germany yesterday and has a ride of only 96000km , but damn , now I can say that it is silly to judge a car only knowing it's mileage... Damn we expected something better when we were driving to the place where it is standing... But it looks like that the owner of the car didn't love it... Probably the biggest problem is this(look at the picture) , oh my god it looks so miserable... http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3523/image015ot3.jpg Are there any possibilities to fix this?

How much you payed for this car ?

Hello Ignas,

I'm afraid to tell you that this is a common an well known problem among the Audi 100 series and normally nothing to blame the former owners for (the foam under the textile "disintegrates" within the years). As far as I know no one here in the "Forum" has found a solution to refix the ceiling so that it looks like it did before. The best thing would be to remove the complete ceiling (with the board under it) and put something new on it. You should be able to find an adequate replacement textile with "foam/sponge" under it at your local car dealer or somewhere else (maybe someone her can give you a good hint).

greetings from germany, Jan

Hello Ignas,

finding a new (used of course, not brand new) ceiling will be the most reasonable solution even if it takes some time to find a such and covering it with some material more easy to fix and less able to hang down would be the most noble but as well most effortful solution.

What so ever your final solution will be, during you wonder, you may fix the original coating hanging around with "second glue" or however it is called (e.g. cyanoacrylat based glue) at randomly distributed points to instantly take away some of the biggest uglyness of that phenomenon. A final solution can't be based on that method for the points you stick the coating to with glue will be seen afterwards from underneath and even worse, you turn out to have "too much" coating

regards

Stefan - having that problem too and a new ceiling at hand

Well , thanks guys for your answers. We didn't buy that car , I was just wondering if it is possible to repair
