How to Remove a Car Roof Liner?

[LaBeckett]

Prepare all the tools needed for the entire removal process. Pull the interior roof handle downward by hand to remove it. Gently pry open these two small covers. Use a T-20 Torx bit to remove these two screws. After removing the screws, hold the left side of the interior roof handle with your left hand and the right side with your right hand, then gently pull outward.

I've helped friends remove car headliners a few times, the key steps require patience. Just prepare plastic pry tools and socket wrenches. Start by removing sun visors and coat hooks - these pop off easily. Then handle the A-pillar and B-pillar trim panels, gently prying the clips without forceful pulling. Remember to disconnect the dome light wiring to prevent short circuits. The headliner itself is glued to the roof panel - peel it slowly section by section to avoid material damage. After removal, check for rust or water leaks and apply anti-rust compound promptly. The whole process is time-consuming; I recommend teamwork for safety, non-professionals shouldn't attempt this casually. Common mistakes involve excessive force causing trim breakage - repairs are costly afterward. Only remove for cleaning or modifications; DIY is fun but high-risk.
