Default Interior coming apart /hazard not blinking

Hello Guys,
I need some advise regarding my b5 :
- My B5 interior trim cloth is coming out from the roof and other places and is hanging. Can you please advise what is to be done?
- The hazard light has stopped working, as in i press the switch and it blinks, but the car's lights do not blink. The indicators work fine though. I am thinking it is some blown fuse, but do not know where to check.
- Where can I find fog grill? I tried looking in ebay, but could not find.
- What is the best way to fit aux in for the symphony stereo. I have a cd changer at the back of the car.

Thank you.

1) The headliner needs to be re-glued or replaced. Follow the Sunroof remove and replace tech write up
2) The hazard switch (with built in relay) needs to be replaced
try any of the audi salvage yards (L & T Enterprises in PA is good) or A&P is good as well
3) it depends on what type of aux you are trying to add.

the following tech article is for the A6 but its pretty much the same for our cars. 3M products are good products, any auto parts stores will have headliner glue with the 3M label

I found the following on Crutchfield, I'm sure there are others like this out there Google is your friend

The hazard switch at the stealership is/was less than $100.00

Hello ianbis,
Thank you for your reply.
I got a spray glue for the trim and applied it. But it left a lot of marks, I am thinking I will get it done professionally now.
The hazard switch is up and running and aux is installed.

That is awesome, I'm glad you got everything worked out, you should probably share with the community which aux plug you went with and how you like it because it could help someone else. Did you wait for the adhesive to tack before you pressed the headliner against the backing??
