did you use flexible paint/vinyl paint on them?
#5: Re: roof lining removal Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Wed Feb 22, 2012 8:34 am ---- Nope just general car body exterior paint. Lots of coats.
No cracking, no peeling and still very flexible.
Pillars - Make sure the surface is heavily keyed and primed. Otherwise tw paint scratches off easily.

Yeh I have them. Different handles altogether.
Brake cleaner cuts through the glue very well.

Only certain multiplexed 206 have these fitted.
GTI 180 has them as standard, later GTI / FAPTASTIC GTI have them, i've seen them on a couple of 206 SE as well.
