How does the headlining come out

Post by FarmerPug »

I was just thinking about this today, i was in a real shabby car one day its headlining was all plastered in paint, cows dung, and other matter purely out of interest how would someone even begin with the job of getting the headling out of a car, it looks harder to do than taking an engine out

Drop down the A, B and C pillar covers, remove grab handles, interior lights and anything else that may be holding the lining up, then pull the lining down. It's likely to be glued on so you'll need to be careful taking out the one you're going to fit back into your car.

Yeah, I'd suspect so. I had to do a sunroof assembly on a 405 many moons ago and we were able to get all that in and out through the doors.
