My Viano has got some gash drop down TV/DVD player in the back and I want to f**k it off however once removed there will be several holes where it was fixed through the head lining.

Does anyone have any smart ideas of suggestions of how I can cover up the area? My initial thoughts have been to find some similar material, cut a template using the housing for the screen and see if I can find someone to trim up the template in the material so I can literally just fabric glue it over the area.. seems a bit extreme though

Re-trimming the whole head-lining is not an option, its about 4 meters long

Some of the smart repair companies can do some epic repairs. Maybe worth ringing them up. Depends on the size of the holes of course...

Well I couldn't think of any way to fix the holes so I'm ordering one of these to cover them up.. It weighs a fraction of what the DVD player did (so the roof lining wont sag like it did) and being 4 times the size it will actually be visible lol
