Convertible Headliner Removal

[TeMoney14]

I'm planning on taking my headliner out so I can do somework to it to make it unique, I'll show everyone once it is finished. But before I got to crazy with removing the headliner I wanted to see if there was anything I had to do to remove it that I may not realize. I assume I have to take all the screws out holding it in but is it that easy? Thanks for the help!

to change / remove the haedliner you have to undo the front edge of the top. the headliner is wrapped around the front edge with the top. take the tiny screws out of the trim panel carefully and pull all the staples /tacks out. use extreme care that you dont break the tack strip or else you will have to replace it. staple / tack the top back if you plam on driving with the top up. good luck

Thanks! I was trying to figure it out but couldn't find anything on it. I can put the front edge of the top back on without the headliner in right? What I plan to do probably won't get done very quickly so I has just going to go without one for a bit

yes, just be careful with the tack strip

Here's a link for changing a top. Just follow the steps for removing the headliner. It's the instructions I followed to do my top this spring.
