No problem, NOw all i have to do is removed the sunroof trim (have to remove sunroof glass as an assembly) I will take pics and try to give a step by step on it.
More updates. I already finished installing the headliner. I going to say this:
Re-install headliner RT front seat door, remove the check strap bolt from A pillar. open as far it can go. The reason this is is when pushing in the headliner with out the steering wheel in the way is much easier. And 2nd when doing so, make sure your right front seat is push toward the rear and set the back portion back all the way. 3rd you will need to put the Shift level in neutral or as further back as you can to get the headliner inwards. 4th YOU will have to kind of bend the headliner ever so slightly to you can get it through. I did it on my own with out any help and believe me it work and saves alot of time.
From here and on after you have installed the headliner and it is inside the car (not clip in inner panel) then should basic re-assembly from the way you took it apart. Here are more pics!!!
I did remove the nuts in gold instead of the torx screws. I suggest to water mark the guide so you can guide your self
I removed the 8 hex nuts and pulled back the glass. There is a plastic underpeice that has 8 double tabs so they have a way of getting it out from under the glass towards the rear.
No glass
Glass removed. Be careful to turn the seal to pop it our on both sides. On mine it ripped so I ended doing a repair on the seal.
My reinstalling guide
Opposite side
You should be able to pop out the glass liner panel.
Panel removed
There are guides on both sides. Be sure to check when removed. They come of the guide rail but are easy to reinstall. I Spent 45 mins trying to figuere this out LOL
Mounting glass support bracket with the guide rail on, this does not require any adjustments to the glass.
Same
Headliner installed after guide in the headliner brackets.
Make sure to press hard on some parts to get the headliner to fit correctly.
Great thread and instructive for those with the sagging liner problem. Just wondering if removal of all the seats would have made things easier for access.
I want to go all black too, but the mismatched sun visors and handles would drive me crazy!
Dude honestly the car stands out interior wise if its black headliner. since my car is 2 tone, black and grey, its like a win win. If & when I decide to reinstall the moon roof interior panel. I gonna leave it grey, but I took it off for the moment anyway.
