Technical removing the headliner

I have removed the headliner on my punto, so it could get the leather treatment, & also so i could sound deaden the roof of the car. They should be pretty similar. There will be various clips screws & also the sunroof rubber to deal with(if you have one). You may need to unbolt the interior seats also so there is space to get it out. Also the headliner will be glued to the roof so be careful not to ruin it. Use a thin sheet of meatal or similar to try and break the bond when attempting removal. This can be a real pain. But it is easily done with patience. just be steady as you go..........:cool:
 
We tried getting it out on the 3dr but it seemed impossible via the boot; in the end, we took both front seats out and did a Chuckle-Brothers routine (to me, to you) to get it in via the doors.

Remember dont be afraid to bend it(the headliner:rolleyes: )...it looks creased but they will come out by themselves.

:chin: - our new Schumi had a crease in it, we tried everything to get it out, eventually did - installed a new one :D
 
Mmmmmmm never had/seen that problem before.Never had problems with creases either & we 'rip' them out,throw them across workshop floor,drive over them,use them to lay on under cars & as goal posts for indoor footie & never had a crease yet! Ssshhhh dont tell anyone thats what we do:devil:
 
Thought as much, bloody grease monkies :p

Well that makes doing the GPS Aerial that little bit easier then :D

I do remember the Punto, Bravo/a and Marea headlinings being crease free, but the Stilo one seemed very fragile; maybe I was wrong?!
