Removing/Changing Roof Headlining

Post by e21rana »

I'm thinking of changing my headlining to black suede. But I can't find how to remove it. I was told it's held by bars??? Can anybody share me a thread on how to change. I remember someone doing it on the forum where he did a total restoration and he got his wife to retrim it for him. Iv got all my windows out so it's easier for me to change it now rather than later.

Take all the glass & sunroof seal out first. Then unstick the lining around it's edge. Once the edges are unstuck you'll be able to see the wire bars than run from side to side. Good luck with it as it looks like a bitch of a job to fit a new one.
