Perhaps because it has been in use for too long, and recently there is too much humid air in Rain Water, the roof cloth of our Citroen C5 sedan, which has been in use for more than a decade, degummed off a few days ago. It first drooped from both sides near the rear window. When the car was driven, it looked like the two ears of the second brother suddenly fanned, and then the middle area also began to appear degumming emptiness.
The canvas on the roof of the car was degummed and peeled off, which at first drooped from both sides near the back window.
When the car drives, it looks like the two ears of the second brother suddenly fan.
Extremely ugly, extremely affect the mood of driving and driving.
The first time to consult the usual maintenance of 4S store customer service, reply only do not repair and need to order, and that the price is a little expensive, and look online to see if there is a more cost-effective solution.
The omnipotent network is always not disappointing, and we have found several ways to deal with such problems:
The first method is simple and rough, stick it back where it falls off, but buy special glue. Soon found a universal strong glue in the east, it is introduced that it is suitable for car interior decoration and environmental protection, the price is even cheaper. So immediately issued an order to buy, immediately after the arrival of the goods to carry out construction operations, but the effect is very disappointing. The base of the degumming place is made of soft foam, and it has aged for a long time, and it will break up into slag when it encounters external force, which is not firm at all. This method declares failure.

The order was placed.
Use more than half of the bottle of glue, found that the effect is not ideal, basically can not stick.
The second method is also simple and easy, is to buy a certain number of roof fixed buckle, take off the tarp and then nail it back. After searching on the Internet, there are many related products and rich colors, which can fully meet the repair needs of our car. of course, the manufacturing cost of these small items is very low, and the price is also quite inexpensive. However, in the end, I didn’t choose this method, because after looking at the effect picture, I always felt that the QQ nailed on the smooth roof was out of harmony with the romantic and elegant temperament of our French car.

Finally, I didn’t choose this method. I can’t stand the effect of a bunch of nails QQ on the smooth roof, which is really out of harmony with the romantic and elegant temperament of our French car.
The third method is more troublesome, which requires removing the roof, tearing off the old tarp, cleaning and polishing the matrix of the canopy, and then pasting the new tarp. This method is difficult for ordinary people to do on their own due to the lack of corresponding tools, materials, venues and skills. fortunately, the owner of the car wash who often goes to the car wash says that his shop can do the job. My requirements are two points: one is that the color is as close as possible to the original car; the other is that the materials used are environmentally friendly.
Make an appointment to drive the car to the car wash in the morning and pick it up before the shop closes in the afternoon. After a few days of sloppiness, the roof has taken on a new look. I was satisfied with the details of the skylight, overhead light, handle and other parts. The total cost of material processing is 500 rice. I think this may be the most cost-effective way of repair in this case. I hope it can provide some reference and reference for cyclists who encounter the same problems.

Remove the roof, tear off the old tarp, and clean the roof matrix.
Paste the new tarp and put it back in the car after curing.
After the restoration, the most serious part of the loss of the back row has taken on a new look.
Take a closer look at the skylight, overhead light, handle and other parts of the details, more satisfied.
