How to remove headliner?
I, for the life of me, could not find out how to remove the headliner. I've looked for guides and what not, most other things on the car have guides, but I have had no luck. Anybody have a clue on how to remove the headliner?

Do you have the rear view mirror, OCP, A-pillars, B-pillars, C-pillars, grab handles, sun visors removed?

Open the sun roof. Remove the aluminum trim with weatherstrip at the front. The sides around the sides of the sun roof need to be loosened next. There should be two T20 torx bits in the plastic above where the OCP was. Remove them. The front will now be loose. Slide the headliner towards the rear, and remove.

There may be some velcro right behind the sunroof as well.

I had a look, I'm not sure how to do it. Is it the metal piece with the torx screws or....?

I don't want to stuff it up that's why I'm being a little cautious not to unscrew things and what not.

the metal sunroof piece should just pull off I just cannot remember which direction releases it.

There is a velcro piece behind the rear OCP which will release once you take the OCP out and pull down on it a little. Make sure you pay close attention to not pulling on any wires since those ribbon wires can break easily.

the fun part will be trying to maneuver it out of the vehicle.
