Hi,

What is involved in changing a headlining? My car is a 2 door, sunroof model.

Do i need to remove the rear window? If so, how?


I can think of rear quarter window seals, front door seals, sunvisor panel (again how?), b pillar trims...

Any help would be great. Also is it a hard job?

Many thanks,

Paul
