Default How to- Remove headliner

IS there a How to- to remove the headliner to our cars, I dont want to break anything. I've searched and came upon nothing. I'm so close to selling the car because there is something in the headliner than rattles.

It's pretty straight forward but it'll take a while. The headliner handles on front passenger and rear driver/passenger side need to come off, (screws hidden under plastic on each end) the front seat belt needs to be unbolted from panel between front and rear door, (the bolt is hidden inside the triangle shaped plastic thing) remove panel where seat belt was bolted to, A pillar & B pillars are held in by clips, pull gently, they need to come off, pull clear plastic off the dome light by front windshield, remove screws (3 IIRC) remove dome light, remove visors and clips that hold them in place. Headliner is held on by mostly velcro, but there are a couple plastic clips by the sun roof, and some by the back wind shield. Pull from the front to back, the whole thing should crash down. BTW putting this thing back up sucks the big one.

What a day! Just finished redoing my headliner in suede tonight and you pretty much said it exactly like it is. The only thing I did different was I took the back seat out so that I could clip the C-pillar back in place. I will get some finished pics probably tomorrow.
