ok so I need help on how this headliner is taken out and put back in.

Want to replace the old fabric with a more heavy duty kind:D

Very simple.. Just take off whatever seems to be holding it up.. It's really much more simple than it looks..

pry out the fron pillars, and the rear covers. Unscrew the sun visors. Pry out the plastic cover on the piece where the seatbelt goes thru, there is 17mm bolt - get the seatbelt mechanism out of the way. pry out middle pillars. there are 2 or 3 button screws on the headliner close to the rear windshield

not hard.. unscrew them and then take like a puddy knife and stick it in where the 2 folds meet and break the glue.. peel the old fabric off refab it and glue them back together.. maybe 30 min on each

What type of material did you use?
Where did you get it?

I kinda want a black and blue scheme for the interior.

I'm gonna paint the pillars black since thay are already out.

i re did mine three times and the glue still wont hold and i used the 3m tacky 77 suposed to work really good just didnt for me. Im going to redo it again.

Word of advice for anyone that is going to attempt this, let the headliner sit for a couple days in a basement with a dehumidifier running will halp the glue adhere properly.
