Hi all,
Thank you for the tips, we may attempt this in the summer and sounds a good idea to do it at the same time as replacing the window seals!
We are doing the wheelhouse of our pilot 20 (is that the correct phrase?) It's also the cooking bit and dining room.. with white foam backed vinyl.

Do you have blinds or curtains for privacy in that area? It's the only area to stand and get changed!

I understand that it is called basketweave , which looks nicer than van lining, and can be found on ebay etc.

Steve,
I have recently refitted the whole of the cabin lining of my Pilot. The original lining was an open weave fabric which had discoloured and deteriorated badly. I think this type of material has been superseded in the intervening thirty years by more durable materials which are much easier to fit.

I stripped the interior completely and replaced the sidewalls with “van lining”, available on ebay in a variety of colours. This has an attractive, felted appearance and is a breeze to fit, using spray adhesive, as it’s stretchable and very easy to fit round the contours of the hull. I removed the windows and rubber surrounds in order to get a neat fitting around the apertures.

For the head lining and hatch I used foam-backed perforated vinyl fabric (ebay again) using spray adhesive to secure to the plywood backing panels which are held up by only a few screws. Van lining would have been just as satisfactory but I preferred a contrasting texture.

The whole job requires only basic diy skills, took less than two days and provides a crisp, clean look.

I would be happy to provide more details if of interest.

Richard

Thanks Tony and Simon, it’s the interior sidewall lining and cabin hatch I intend to replace.

Hi Steve, I'm sure fellow Hardy owners will be pleased to help!
Maybe a bit more info/photos on the location/material of the trim you need to replace? Not familiar with the Pilot myself..
All the best, Tony
