No, pull the stripping. Just pull the area down that contacts the liner, you will want a second set of hands to unplug the light harnesses. Oh, don't forget the 3rd brake light. The strip just pulls down and if you olnly pull down what you need goes right back to it's home. You might not like the idea now but once you do it you will see how easy it is. Keep calm and RL on man

I liked that saying so I made up a shirt design for it:

 

I got it out, and didn't have to pull the seals from the door frame. I used a plastic trim removal tool that sort of looks like a popsicle stick, and wedged it between the headliner and black seal and slowly worked it along until one side was loose. After that, ithe whole headliner can be dropped out.

Hopefully putting it back in goes a lot smoother. After all of this, I have come to the conslusion that the GM instructions for taking the headliner out are complete crap, becuase half of the steps are either wrong or unnecessary.


Where do I sign up for a shirt?:bigthumb:

 

Glad you got her done. Not hard at all. Took mine out put some funky shag material over the existing headline let it dry and within 3 hrs it was back on the car.

 

What color? got a pic?

 

The headliner is back in along with all of the of the trim, except for that in the rear. I am putting the rear brakelight in, but I don't remember if the tabs on the outside are supposed to go above the headliner or under the headliner (as pictured). I tried mounting it both ways, but I don't know how it is supposed to go. I wish I would have paid better attention during removal.



Is the way I have it installed now correct, or does it need to be installed above the headliner? Do any of you all know which is the correct way to mount the brake light in regards to the headliner?

 

I'm 95% Sure that's right, but I'm way to lazy to check atm

 

Why were you so dead set on not pulling down the weather strip again? I'm sure it was real fun getting that back in there without rolling the fabric...

 

Id love to do mine in black suede. Did you remove old fabric or just glue right to it.

 

Your Suppose to remove old fabric first then glue it, I;m going with Black Suede and red diamond stitching whenever i get the time

 

Just take the place down that connections the lining, you will want a second set of arms to remove the mild uses.The remove just draws down and if you only take down what you need goes right returning to it's house. You might not like the concept now but once you do it you will see how simple it is.
