headliner is down but not out. How do I get that out? Through the rear door of course, but is there any tip on getting it out? I removed the rear cargo cover hoping that would give me a better angle but it doesn't want to come out without bending.


Thanks again.

 

I found it easiest to tilt pass. side down and drivers up. I let it ride the passenger head rest out. as a side note. I did the job alone and it did bend at the rear roof. I epoxied a mending strip on both sides of the underbody of it, before I re installed......worked famously, no problems at all

 

okay thanks, going to have another go at it.

 

Following your instructions made it come out extremely easy, I wasn't ever good at puzzles. I'm now removing the foam backing, any tips that would speed up the process?

 

scouring pad or steel wood or steel bush all work. not much effort needed there, it already wants to come off. soap and water and it falls right off. soap is optional. the water will not damage the fiberglass. I used a nylon scrubby brush thing.....I think it was meant for dishes

I wet it with a garden hose and it took about 15-20minutes of scrubbing then rinsed.

 

pressure washer

 

Metal wire brush and acetone worked best for me.

 

That was my next question, Acetone, I have a tooth brush sized plastic brush... the foams coming off pretty fast, but the glue that's left over, clean that off?


Thanks!

 

I suppose alcohol or acetone would aid in glue release. but I figured the glue was stuck good enough to just remove the loose stuff, if it wanted to stay on there, that was great for me. hold on forever..even better. I guess I could have made a mistake in leaving it, but have not seen one yet.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes things stick to a rough surface better than a smooth surface.
