Headliner replacement...how do I take it out???
Headliner replacement...how do I take it out???
Hey I need to take the headliner board (hardtop 86 firebird) out. My dome light doesn't have screws, it has these little clips that retain it up. I thought I would have to break them to pull off the dome light? Also do I have to take off any of the upper door trim molding? I know to take off the upper rear trim molding and the visors, dome light. But is that it. Someone told me there might be velcor on the front and back of it too. (no biggie).
Thanks in advance, Trey.

That clip will slide off the post if you wiggle it down, think I used pliers to get mine off.
The trim has to come off the A-Pillar (plastic on both sides of windshield).
It's best to open your tailgate and take it out that way without bending. There are 3 or 4 clips on the front of the headliner at the windshield. After the headliner is loose you have to slide the entire headliner towards the passenger side and it should drop down.
Don't force anything hehe, it's easily bent/torn.
After it's out, do a search for headliner repair. There's tons of techniques you can use. I've yet to get mine back in hehe!
