Re: Headlining re-trim

you cant SEE any fixing from the underside. i think you would be able detatch it but it would be a case of removing the whole sunroof unit to get to the fixings which in my eyes aint worth the ball ache.

Re: Headlining re-trim

its relatively easy. i was a bit aprehensive to begin with as ive never done anything like this before.

as for the sunroof cover im still a bit bewildered as how to do it. i didnt remove the c pillars completely i just removed the top clips and slid the headlining forward then back out of the boot.

Headlining re-trim

i have a sunroof model, and i know its covered lots but not specifically for sunroof models. 2 questions: control unit for the electric sunroof, how do i remove it to get the headlining out? pillars, do these just prise off? a walkthrough for a 6n2 would be fantastic if anybody knows of one, thanks!...
