Headliner Removal/Installation

  1. Install the headliner in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
    • If the side curtain airbag has been deployed, replace the headliner and related parts with new ones.
    • To prevent the side curtain airbags from deploying improperly and possibly causing injury, inspect removed pieces and replace them if they have any of these types of damage:
    • -
      Any crease or tears in the headliner (A)
      -
      Any cracks or breakages in the grab handle (B)
      -
      Any damage around the grab handle holes (C) or sunvisor holes in the headliner
      -
      Any cracks in the sunvisor stay base (D)
      -
      Any bends or cracks in the sunvisor stay shaft (E)
      -
      Any cracks in the sunvisor base (F)
      -
      Any cracks or breakages in the vanity mirror base (G)
      -
      Any fasteners (H) and clip bases (I) which have come off the headliner
    • When installing the grab handle, push on the handle against the bracket (J) until the clips (K) snap into place securely.
    • Check if the clips are damaged or stress-whitened, and if necessary, replace them with new ones.
    • Replace the removed cushion tapes with new ones.
    • Check that both sides of the headliner are securely attached to the trim.
    • Make sure the headliner overlaps the trim pieces correctly
    • When reinstalling the headliner through the front passenger's door opening, be careful not to fold or bend it. Also, be careful not to scratch the body.
    • If the threads on a visor screw are worn out, use an oversized self-taping ET screw P/N 90137-S30-003 mode specifically for this application.
