it slides forward and then you pull it off.. still you may break something since the things are old.. and plastic.. you will need to take your dashpad off.. well not really but i found it helps sometimes... then remove your rear plastic panels where your 6x9's are.. and then the rear trim piece... and also but not sure the plastic trim piece at the back of your door... not in that order.. but that will get the headliner out in one piece.. oh yea... you will have 3 clips in the front of it... oh yea. and do not forget to remove the sun visors and the dome light.. that should be all lol only takes like an hour to do really... about a 3 hour job or so to remove an old one and install a new one... I had a dealer tell me it was going to take 6 hours to get the stuff out enough just to pull it down to look at my seat belt retractors.... they actually had to find a guy familiar with the car before they would do anything. and even he didn't know where to start.. which is pretty sad
