I need to repair/ replace the headliner on my 2006 W211 E320 CDI, is there a video, pictures on the process of removal.

Search is your friend. For a W210 but the process is similar. And yes, it is a PITA to get the headliner out of the car through the door. Next time I would be tempted to remove the windshield...

I feel your pain, my friend, as I have noticed that back, right corner is starting to come off/separate in my 06 W211 E55. Now I'm on a search for "how to" DYIs. Not much useful video info on YouTube. Everything I've seen is that people are replacing and not repairing their original headliners. Which brings up a question: where to find a color code chart for Mercedes, what fabrics and where to find the fabric itself? So far my search came up empty. 😞

Search EPC by your vehicle's VIN for the part number for the headliner. That part number will have a suffix attached that indicates the color code. Been a few years since I replaced the headliner and all of the plastic bits but I remember finding a table that listed the color codes versus the name of the colors (e.g. 7D05 = Dove Gray). I found it easier to just remove the headliner, sun roof panel, plus A/B/and C pillars and take them to a quality upholstery shop to get as close a match as possible. Beware of thick foam backings! Thin is in or alcantera which has effectively no foam backing.

Below is a photo of the part number on the original headliner from my W210. "Farbe" translates as "Color". 7E66 is the part number suffix for that color.
