Title: Headlining removal
Post by: cardiff_gareth on March 29, 2007, 09:39:50

Got all the bolts etc now removed and headlining is held in place by lip by tailgate and also at the top of the pillars by windscreen/front doors.
Question is how are the trims that go over the pillars held in as I can't get the headlining over the lip here without creasing it ?
Are the them plastic lugs that clip thier way in :?:

Yep they have the big round flat heads that pop out with a flat screwdriver. Or better still one of those forked pry bars.

Some panels are faster to remove than others, you'll work it out. Start with the easiest ones and hope you can get the liner out early on.

The headliners do reform quite well so a little flexing is ok.

got it out and wet the roof to find leak but no joy - sodding typical :!:
Siliconed sunroof inside and out and some of the torque screws were loose so tighted up although some felt they were'nt tightening up no matter how much you screwed them :shock:
Also siliconed alpine lights and rear quater panel windows and just for good measure took off roof bars, siliconed underneath them and put them back on.

If this leaks now I don't know what it is !

Hi

I posted about leaky sunroofs a while back as I was fed up with the half gallon of water dropping on my head as I got in.

The solution which has worked for me since - about 5 or 6 months - is to crank the handle past its usual stop position - ie once shut push the button and turn it further - until it it won't go no more.

No water so far, fingers crossed. Its stopped smelling like a wet dog too.
