This headliner had sagged until it was visible from the
outside. |
Remove everything that attaches through the headliner board. In
this case; there was a 2 light assemble that had to be removed.
All assemblies like this one can be unplugged. |
The doorpost trim has 2 smaller pieces of trim that can be
"unsnapped" before it can be loosened. The red arrows point to
the metal clips that hold it in place. Note: door post trim
doesn't have to be removed, just loosened so the headliner will
slide out from under it. |
A couple of little pieces a the top that have to be
unsnapped. |
The rear of trim of the door post trim assembly. |
This is a shot of the top side trim. It extends from below the
dash to the back of the rear door. It is one piece and snaps into
place with clips like the door post clips. |
The rear panels are just simply pulled down. They have plastic
plugs that hold them in place. They do not have to be removed,
unless recovering them. Just loosened so the headliner will come
out from under them. |
After all trim is loosened or removed, the headliner board should
drop freely. |
Remove the board through the front passenger side door. |
Clean the board with a stiff soft bristled brush. Try not to
damage the board by chewing into it. It is made of
fiberglass. |
Lay the material out evenly on the board, and fold it from the
middle back. This allows you to do a small section, instead of
trying to spray it all at one time. It would be much better to
work small sections so you don't have to get in a rush. |
This is a shot of the backside of the board to show the velcro
fasteners that hold it in place in the car. |
When done applying the material, fold over and glue the front and
rear of the board (if your headliner is trimmed like this), and
trim the excess material from the edges. Headliner material comes
in 54 inch widths, very few boards are over 52 inches. This one
was approx. 49 inches wide. |
Reinstall the newly recovered board in the car. It makes
the car look like new on the inside again. |
