Post by djp30djp »

Hi, can anyone please tell me what is involved in removing/swapping the rooflining on a hdi estate & how it's held in?

You have to remove a, b and c pillar trims, sun visors, grab handles and courtesy lights. The lining is held in by some really strong glue. It took me ages to get mine out but it makes it a lot easier if you do it on a hot day so the roof is quite warm. Also be very careful as the lining is quite brittle and will easily tear if you pull it too hard.

As JD406 says, only be careful as I found there are quite a few sharp edges around just under the headlining so be warned....
