Thanks sumzup for your detailed post. Much appreciated your thoughts and observations.
I guess, you have FL version of the Yeti with the entire black interiors. Indeed it looks way better than our 'Pre-FL' lot.
Now to continue with my story, I opted for the aftermarket route for this work basically because at ASC, they usually ask to replace the entire moulded trim along with the fabric material, which would obviously cost more and also it would require more time for the part availability. And you know, the actual time period required for any such off-beat work is always indefinite at ASCs.
So finally I got the replacement work with the new fabric material on the old Roof Liner trim done today at a local shop here in Sangli.
First the old fabric and the underlying residual sponge debris were removed and the surface was prepared thoroughly using polish paper.
Then the Roof Liner trim was prepared for installation after replacement of the new fabric was carried out by applying glue to both the surfaces in contact.
Once I reached the shop today, it was the matter of about 2 hrs for the final installation work inside the car and I tell you, the cabin is looking quite spacious since then.
The best part of this deal is, it did cost me almost 1/4 of the expected price at ASC, that too without any apparent difference in the quality, fit and finish.
In fact, the final damage on my wallet was much less than what I was quoted at various other vendors.
At Škoda ASC, the job would have cost me in the tune of ₹25k or even more. But here the vendor asked me just ₹7k and I happily paid the amount without any bargaining.
Cheers
