HELP - Charcoal Headlining Material...
I am in need a few metres of the new charcoal headlining material fitted in current Defenders... Question

Having searched any relevant thread here, and contacted any mentioned possible sources, they mostly refer to the lighter grey material, or have turned up negative so far... Big Cry

I have also tried a wider Google search for potential outlets without finding any so far... Rolling Eyes

Could anyone point me in the direction of a possible source of the charcoal headlining material used in current Defenders please... Thumbs Up

I am not looking for the actual headlining itself, just the material, thanks in advance... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green
The GREEN One...

eBay has loads of sellers with rolls of alcantara material in different shades and even colours. Next year I intend to retrim my headlining in dark charcoal. Looks easy enough. 2016 D4 HSE

^^ Of course he will,.... if it is glued onto some kind of a panel like in your picture. Laughing You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Thanks Paul... Thumbs Up

Already tried that on Simon's suggestion though, they say they don't use the JLR original stuff and only have jet black stuff... Rolling Eyes

So unless UT know different and can get hold of some for me, that's a dead end too... Whistle

Appreciate the input sir... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green
