Does anyone know how to remove the headliner. From what I understand the headliner handles need to be removed along with the sun visors? But what kind of tools would I need? I already popped of the trunk cover....that was really easy. Im looking to sound deaden my roof. Everything else has been dynamated along with dynaliner expect the roof and with 2 IDQ's in the back it vibrate like crazy!

i did my headliner in suede a couple months back. you have to remove the pillars, handles, visors, dome lights, and the misc pins/clips

So give OP some hints and suggestions. What tools did you use? What was particuarly easy? Difficult? Anything you would've done differently?

I'm sure you'll have a friend forever.

Get a small assortment of panel tools, harbor freight has a good kit, also have a set of picks (yeah, harbor freight)

Disconnect the neg battery cable!! remember, there are airbags that run the length of the car, careful where you poke.

biggest pita was the visor removal, remove the covers on each visor (not as easy as it sounds) once these are out get some needle nose and gently pinch the metal retainers and pull out (two per visor) it'll fall out after that.

OS Handles, pop off the two covers (carefully) same trick with the needlenose pliers, pinch the retainers and remove.

A-Pillars, pry away from the side, look up near the top, you'll see a black retainer, the book says just rotate it 90 degrees and it will come out, I had to use a panel tool to pop it

B-Pillars start by pulling the door gaskets (all of em) then the kick panels, and the front door lower trim panel (ooo looky, a place to run wires) then the bpillar, from the bottom up.

C pillars pull the tire cover, tool trays, and back seat. Also remove the vertical seats and hatch gasket. remove the mounts for the cargo cover (if you got em) and pry away the lower panel. now you can pry the cpillar panels away, mind the

pull the map lights and dome light, for the dome, remove the lens and slide the locking tabs to remove the housing.

all that is left are 5 retainers mid car and along the back, pry em out with a panel tool gently.

dont yank the headliner out just yet!

look above the liner and untape the wires on BOTH sides of the car. these are the power for the lights and the antenna.

now slide it out the backside

assemble in reverse


have fun, I've done a couple

Great helps! I think I could do it with just a printout of your instructions.

One more hint from the OCD girl: anytime you put pliers to anything with a nice finish (metal), wrap the piece with fabric or chamois so that you won't scratch the finish.

This makes me want to change my headliner too.
