Classic car technicians Brian and Lydia have been working on the interior of our 1987 BMW 635 CSI.
Brian’s work began by removing the old glue and foam from the sides and C post areas of the car. He also removed the old glue and material from the area surrounding the sunroof opening.
Sound-deadening material was cut and fitted to the C posts sections before Brian moved on to repairing the front roof panel.
The interior lights were removed so that the rear roof headliner bar could be fitted and the material slid onto it. The headliner material was clipped into position and the front and rear edges were glued.
Brian went on to remove the side window rubber seals before trimming the headliner material and then glueing the headliner to the edges of the window surrounds. When it came to glueing the sides of the C posts, holes were cut out for the seat belts and also for the heated window wires.
The rear rubber window seals were re-fitted along with the B Posts and grab handles. The interior lights were then re-fitted into the car with the headliner being glued around them. The mirror was also put back in place.
Once the headliner had been glued around the sunroof opening, Brian fitted the metal trims and wind deflector. The front trim panel was also fitted and the sun visors were too.
Brian then moved on to the rear parcel shelf. This was spray painted before being fitted back into the car. The sunroof was also put back in the car.
Lydia also played a part in the transformation of the interior of our 1987 BMW 635 CSI. She made the new headliner material that Brian fitted in the car. Lydia also put the binding around some of the new carpet pieces for our classic BMW.
