I wound up completely pulling off the back plastic pieces(no breakage thank God), but wasn't able to pop off the front pieces.. Luckily I was able to just slide the headliner back a little and it just completely fell down. I'm starting to wonder however how I am going to get it back in with those plastic columns still in place.. I guess we will see..
If anyone has any recommendations on how to pop them off(without worrying about them breaking), please feel free to post up any tips or tricks.. I think if I saw the backside of one(or how it plugs into the frame of the car), I might feel a bit better about just "tugging on them."
You will need to pop off the front columns but it isn't hard. For one thing, the Germans seem to make much better plastic than we do, it's really sturdy stuff. I use a plastic trim removal tool from Harbor Freight, a set is about $7. Just slide it in from the top and pull, it will pop right off. The best advice I can give is to take your time and when you use the adhesive, use plenty, make sure that both pieces are coated well. Good luck with it and if you have any questions you can PM me.
