ADHESIVE ROOF LINING FOR MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

This invention is concerned with a method of lining the roof of a motor vehicle having a roof bar extending around the perimeter thereof within the vehicle with a gap existing between the roof and the roof bar. The method comprises applying a coating of an adhesive material to the roof in a strip extending therearound and inside the roof bar, and to an adjacent section of the roof bar, positioning an elongate strip of an elastomeric compressible material on the strip of adhesive material and striking the elongate strip on the roof, providing the roof within the area described by the roof bar with an adhesive or adhesion promoter coating, pressing on the roof area bounded by the elongate strip a sheet structure which is elastic and/or pliable to bond the sheet structure to the roof and leave free a marginal area of the sheet structure, pressing the marginal area into said gap and over said strip, compressing the strip in so doing and releasing tension in the strip so that is clamps the sheet structure on the roof bar.
