Default Almost got my headliner out... HELP!

so i removed the "oh ****" handles got the rear light undone the visors off here is what i'm left with. then all i have left i believe is to unscrew the cargo holders in the front.

do the rear cargo nets come off the head board any way? i was trying to pull and looking for screws but couldn't find them. also having trouble with the middle dome light assembly



and one last thing the sun visor clips. does the middle pop out so you can access the screw behind it?



Thanks headliner crew!

For the visors, pop the tab out carefully, there is a screw behind it. Try prying from the other side of the tab, it has a thin piece of plastic for a hinge, and the side with the scratches is the that side. For the sunroof switch, pop the plastic cover off and unplug the switch, pretty sure there is a screw behind it. Mine did not have sunroofs, so I am not sure. Heck, mine didn't have a backer or supporting rails for that matter..

Make sure to order material that is wide enough, and get 2 cans of adhesive.

You're right about the visor clips, but I'm not sure about the other..maybe that panel "snaps" off and there's something under it ??

sweet found the screw for the mid dome light. the easiest way was to push out the sunroof button from behind by stickin my hand in the space where the dome light was and reaching behind it.

still having a hell of a time with the sun visor clips though i can't seem to get those hinges open. I'm trying to use a bit to a ratcheted screw driver its the only thing small enough i can fit back there.

I broke mine when getting them out. I actually installed the whole thing, only to realize that there were 2 metal support brackets for the plastic retainers to push into.

I have given my truck the finger many times...but never on the side of the road!

oh, yeah. Sorry, I thought you got them. They have a clip that expands on all sides like an anchor when the bolt goes through. Just pull harder. They are only like $7 each at the dealer.
