Headliner failing
Any recommendations for replacement of the factory headliner around the perimeter of the cabin in the v-berth and aft cabin for the 2008 Oceanis 40 (or similar)? The current vinyl headliner with foam backing is falling leaving black foam residue in it's wake.

our 2009 B40 vinyl between the rigid ceiling and the hull started falling. I vacuumed off the old foam. we had pieces of mylar cover foam for car windshields on board left over from making side light covers. cut strips wide enough to go from hull to a inch or so over the lip on the cabin liner. folded vinyl around "stiff" foam and tapped on top. Slide foam and vinyl back up into gap. not a permanent fix but a lot better than having the vinyl hanging down.
