haha, all you need is one of those door trim removal tools and a phillips screwdriver.

- take off the handles and sunshades
- take off the big plastic "wing" light/cubbyhole piece
- take off the alpine trim
- take out the two fasteners right above the front seat headrests

My door strips and A,B,C pillar trim were already removed, so I dont know if you have to take those off too, but thats pretty much it!

Note: This is all covered in the RAVE

If you can work a screwdriver you can remove your headliner. I'm not recovering it, I'm just going to paint it.

I found a couple pics of the headliner painted without replacing any of the fabric I am "fearing" but still hiding the wires. I think I like the look of that. It might have to be added to the "To Do" list.

Ditto on that...except I removed it over a year ago. iI don't mind having it out, but the wife wants it in...someday I'll get around to painting it and putting it back in. Gotta fix the Vespa first.

Speaking of random D1 stuff I figured out how to replace the bulb in your clock.

getting in/out of the truck is easy, just screws and nuts and clips holding the various trim bits in.
