Default Car wrap issues - removing handles and headliner

I’m trying to drop the headliner but can’t seem to remove the C-pillar cover. I understand that, that needs to come off for a proper roof wrap it won’t bulge. Not one bit!


Also, for the door handles, do I just remove the 30 HEX bolt and pull out the lock cylinder for that the handle can come out? I don’t need to remove interior panel for this right?


i have the ultra luxury and an F sport. The UL has air purifiers in the headliner. I’m trying wrap the UL.

WOW! Looks like the windshield must come out in order to remove the headliner.

That’s what I saw too but I don’t think that’s correct. I know some members here have removed it entirely without removing the Windshield

@460LS I have the same LS as you. Ultra Lux Package. I can't seem to remove the headliner for roof wrap. I'm now trying to find a wrapper who can skillfully do it without removing the sharkfin antenna. I know @CJITTY did his without having the sharkfin removed.

I pulled the rear dome lamps and it seems like there is a black box that is covering the bolts holding the sharkfin. So even I could get above the headliner with my hands, there would be no room to remove the box/cover unless I drop the headliner.

My other issue is the door handles, will the handle come out from the outside once i remove the lock cyclinder? Or do i need to pull the entire door panel off from the inside to remove the linkage of the handle?
