Headliner is bolted at the edges, I forgot how many bolts. Then the edge is covered with trim pieces.

For the front, take out the A-pillar trim pieces. For the back section, you will need to take out the seats so you can take out the side panels.

Installing a sunroof?

dont paitn it, re-wrap it or it will look like ****. To remove u need to take out ur sun visors, the rear view mirror,the a-pillar plastic piece, the b and C pillar plastic piece, then there is a long piece that goes along the back i believe that needs to be removed and also dont forget to remove and unclip the dome light.

It looks pretty clean actually. Mine is removed, but I got a sunroof there so a little messy. But overall, just a sheet metal with 4 flat roof supports over it.

Take out the light gray piece and you should see 3 screws there.

instead of rewrapping it, you can also use fabric dye on it, ie. if you plan of doing it in black.

will still have the same fabric look as before just in the color you chose.
