Steps to remove the roof lining of the 8th Generation Accord: First, remove the interior trim panels, then detach all the pillar covers, followed by the roof light switch, after which the roof lining can be taken off. The car roof lining is an important component of the vehicle's interior, serving functions such as decoration, sound absorption, and heat insulation. In an era increasingly focused on high performance, environmental friendliness, and lightweight design, the interior roof lining has become a significant factor in car selection, leading to higher demands on automotive interior components. The 2018 Honda Accord measures 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm.
I've removed the roof lining of the 8th-gen Accord several times myself and have some tips. First, disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Start from the cabin - remove the front and rear sun visors, carefully prying open the clips with a flathead screwdriver to avoid damage. Next, take off the A, B, and C pillar trim panels; they're held by plastic clips, so gently pull them off. The door seal strips need to be peeled off too - lift them from the door edge and push toward the center. The roof lining is secured with Velcro and clips, plus small screws at the rear that must be removed before slowly pulling the lining from the rear toward the front. Avoid excessive force to prevent fabric tearing; if there's a sunroof, disconnect the wiring harness to avoid wire damage. The whole process takes about an hour - have interior trim tools and gloves ready. Professional pry bars from tool stores are affordable and effective. Finally, clean the roof frame for easier new lining installation. If inexperienced, watch video tutorials for guidance.
