there are three clips on the windshield side of the A pillars that hold it in place and the speaker wire for the tweeter.

dont be afraid. its fiberglass. it will have a little flex to it. try and flex it too much and it will bend and crease though.

Okay and what about the B pillars? Do I gotta losen them?

Got the A pillar. How about the B pillar that houses the seat belts?

Help! This B pillar is so frustrating

edit: Looked it up on the rave. It tells me to remove all the Front door and rear door aperture trim which is basically the weather seal rubber strip. Did you all do this? If so any tips? Dont wanna harm the truck any more lol

Got it! Gotta love RAVE

I didn't remove all of the seals. I was able to work the headliner out of the top of the seals. Glad you finally got it out. Make sure you get it the gutter drain tubes cleaned up and resealed to the Sun roof gutter tray. You don't want to have to take out the headliner to make a repair on 1 of them

Very good advice thank you for reminding me. So the headliner is out and in my hallway. Its been brushed clean with a dry scrub and then a once over with a wet scrub following by a little compressed air to get rid of excess water. Tomorrow I'll let it sit under the sun and I'll be able to prep it better for the new lining.

Nice what color you going?

ashtray Dec 19, 2012 08:11 PM

Same color it was. I wanted to go black but they did not have any left.

Thanks for this thread, I'm going to have a go at it myself soon. Have never removed the plastic trims in the rear cargo area, are they easy to get out, and are there any special tricks involved?

Thanks
