you guys that have pulled the headliner...


how?


got photos?


looking to mount drop down vid screen just in front of interior lamp....looking for possible mounting points...



TIA

 

I rewrapped mine, but I didn't take pictures.

I can tell you how to do it though.
The A pillars popoff with some force
pop the top covers off the seat belts and unscrew the bolts there.
Do that for both b and c pillars, then a nice tug loosens them.
Go down to the door sills
pop those off.
pop the bottom part of the b pillar off
In the trunk there are 8mm allen wrench bolts (I think?)
unscrew those and the C pillar comes out real easy.

There are 4 covers that pop out in the headliner.
The visors are screwed in, so unscrew those.
take a razorblade or something small to pop the ends of the oh ____ handles off, un bolt those.
Take the cover off the dome light, take the light out, there's a screw behind that and a screw off to the side...
Unhook the dome light wires...
The mirror has a cover on it. it slides back with some force, unscrew it.

I think that's it.

 

^ Pretty much exactly what he said...
It's quite easy... also, flip down the back seats to prevent any damage while removing it.

 

Yeah. Do that, and if you can lean your front seats back as far as they can go after that.

Taking it out is easy, getting it back in...
Well... It's a little trickier.

Be very careful with it too...
It's kinda like tough cardboard...

 

here's what it looks like when it's out4 cans of duplicolor vinyl/fabric paint lateryah...it's a lot of fun getting it back in.

 

looks like I will be in the shop all day tomorrow doing the remainder of the install...which means, remove headliner, build mount bracket, cut slots in headliner for tabs to protrude thru, runs wiring, reinstall headliner, mount vid screen to mount tabs....watch a movie and drink a beer in the back seat.


I really appreciate all the help here, thanks to all.


I will get some pix of the process(or mess)...

 

that looks good!

 

here it is in the car

 

wow that looks really good houseofgrafx

 

Hey, that's killer. So just wanted to say thanks for the pic of the removed headliner houseofgrafx... I used it to install the Thule hard mount roof rack rails on my baby BOP xB. I needed the pic in order to make sure I didn't hit any of those crossbeams. Your pic helped ALOT. So thanks!
