I recently did the headlining on my Avenger and haven't got the heatgun on it yet to tidy it up. I'm not looking forward to it to be honest. I use the heat gun, use a bit if heat on it and then let it cool off, you may need to do it a few times but I'd reckon using an off cut and trial you heat gun on it to get a feel for how to get heat into the fabric and how much you can get away with.

	I will move the white one when it passes the German TÜV on it is a 1200 Deluxe from 66. The grey 65 one will stay so I am getting it ready for a German TÜV inspection and will use it asap when we have nice days with no snow salt etc. the other 2 I will keep for further project time and put them in storage
