Collecting a headliner... will fit in car?

Shouldn't be an issue right? Just pass through boot with rear seats folded down and wedge it up above front seats?

might just hit the front seat if its lying down right against the back of the boot. Have you got a tape measure to measure your old one?

I remember having one or two in cars before, me and my mate used our heads to prop it up against the roof!
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Never in a mk5 for me, last time was for a TD5 so one of the biggest rooflining's going with about a foot of headroom!
