How to remove and paint a headliner from a D2
#91
I was referring to areas in the actual fiberglass/foam headliner (under the felt material) that became deformed over time. I didn't remove the indentations that are formed into the headliner that are there for vehicles with sunroofs. The actual fiberglass/foam board was actually sagging across these "sunroof indentations". If you looked at the board from the side, you'd see a raised/bowed area of approximately 1/2" high.
When the headliner board was cleaned and wet, the board becomes highly flexible. During the drying period, I placed weighted objects in this bowed area and forced the board to dry against a flat surface. In short, you can take out a little warpage that you may have in the board when it is damp, during the drying period.

Okay the pics are working thanks hilltopper. Ran into a problem. Here it is.
So Everything has gone great and as it should. But in the back middle seat the dome light with the sunroof switch wont come out. I got the light and harness out but the sunroof switch is a pain to get at. I feel a thick wiring loom that is very stuff and also I feel metal like a bracket or something. Any ideas on how to remedy this? It is a 2001 SE Disco. No rear AC. Just the dome light and dual sunroofs. I tried pushing down on everything but it just moves the entire plastic construction as one. HELP! Thanks in advance.
