Headliner teasers...
« on: 27 July 2011, 17:53 »
Anyone got any tips to get the B pillar, the bottom part and C pillars off? I've had a pull on them but I don't wanna break them...

When I removed my headliner it was just a case of softly softly catchy monkey.

Try to locate the clips then focus the force on that area, reduces the possibility of snapping things.

Does feel like its gonna break though.

I just unclipped the panels until I could slide the headliner out.

Have fun

I need everything out really so I can change door seals for the ones I've painted and cover the pillars too...

Cheers lads will give it a go tomorrow

and my headlining is out  :smiley:

C pillar covers were a bit of a pain in the arse but managed to get them out after a bit of pulling about

it's now set up ready in my parents ready to be covered with some black velvet material and put back in on Sunday  :wink:
