Default Re: Cabin ceiling cover/fabric falling apart

Wife & I removed the headliner when I had it recovered last year. GraphiteGhost's write-up was excellent in providing more detail than the Service Manual. The only thing we did different than his write-up was we only pulled the rear trim panels down from the top and left them hanging from the bottom pins. (Note: That is per the Service Manual.) That provided enough of a gap where I could see the 2 pins holding the headliner rear to the roof and using a trim removal tool, pulled those pins out. We were able to slide the headliner out of those trims panels when we worked it down, forward & out of the PS door opening. And like his write-up, going back was a piece of cake! We only had to replace a damaged pin in one of the rear interior trim panels.

And I would add that removing the A-pillar trim panels requires some significant force. Those are really stuck to the structure. Almost scary how hard I had to pull to get them loose.
