Common sense went out the window ages ago!
Sunday night had heavy continuous rain and the car was bone dry - am relieved!
Good DIY Ajmat, I like doing these jobs myself where the A.S.S brain fails, DIY works :)
I am
adding some more to this. Maybe you call the SA again:

The roof lining of my vRS has "flopped down" in the rear section of the car (just above the passenger seats, the portion above the front seats is ok). I did not have any leakage through the sun-roof during the rains neither any dampness on the lining. Skoda dealer suggested its normal due to high humidity in Mumbai, car is 7 years old and that the entire roof lining would require replacement. I was ready to go for it. The dealer called in a 3rd party who would do the job. The sample of the lining that this chap showed to me looked utterly cheap (it was very thick and had a corduroy type pattern whereas the original roof-lining is thin and plain). I asked this chap if the same lining could be glued back and his response was yes but there could be bubbles.
Can someone suggest another place where I can have the roof lining fized?
Thanks.

Roof linings, especially the older, un moulded variety, do tend to drop off/sag after a considerable period and yes, humid conditions only add to it.
Coming to replacement, I would suggest you order the original roof lining through the dealer or from an online skoda store (there are quite a few reputed stores who ship to India) and then have it fixed by a competent seat maker in the open market.
Refitting your existing roof lining too is possible but there is a high possibility of folds and/or bubbles forming out of it unless done by somebody who is very good at it. In case you want to give this a shot, I d recommend you go to someone who does seat jobs for classic/antique cars.
Great Work Ajmat.
I think it is time for all Skoda Owners to start doing these types of jobs themselves rather than going to infamous Skoda ASC.:)
