Hi,
It has been a long time since I last touch anything in my Jeep.
It is summer here, getting out of the A/C wasn't really an option...
For the last few months, the headliner was almost on my kids heads, but lately, it was on mine too (driver side) so I decided it is time to fix it...
How to remove it?
1. Remove the sun visors (3 Philips screws) and their hands (one screw for each)
2. Remove the central lamp, 2 screws and then slide it forwards till it comes out. do not remove it completely, just slide it above the roof.
3. Remove the plastic panels:
The ones above the driver/passenger sides have plastic/metal clips which hold them to their place, be careful while you are pulling them. I broke 2, Epoxy glue put them back in place later.
You will have to remove the passenger handle too (torex screwdriver)
4. Remove the passengers handles above the rear doors (torex screwdriver, again) and then remove the panels.
5. remove the speakers, first remove their plastic covers and then remove them (2 torex screws under the plastic cover)
6. remove the lamp by pulling it gently and slide it above the roof.
7. Remove the rear door panel and the side panels of it.
8. remove the safety belt bolts (rear ones)
Slide the headliner through the rear door.
Remove the old sponge of the fiberglass headliner.
Spray the glue over the clean headliner
Use the help of another person to put the new fabric in place, be careful not to have any wrinkles.
Put everything back in place...
