Headliner removal?

[Austin-182]

Can anyone help?
Im going to retrim in alcantara so
how do i remove this? Also the pillars aswell?

Dont!!!

I tried once on my old cup and it ended up in FAIL.

Its bonded to the roof with stickaflex, also the grab handles are a mare to remove if you want to reuse them!

The a pillers, you need to pull them from the top slightly and you will see a screw. undo it and then give it a gentle tug and riggle.
The headlining is a bit more of a pain, the grap handles are a pain, but if your lining it then dont put them back in and it will look a lot cleaner. but with them i think you just undo a little screw and pull the S*IT out of them untill they pop off.

if you want to do it, try and take your time removing the interior roof handles etc, their the pain, the back part of the roof is easy just pull slowely, good luck,

btw its fairly easy to put back,

make sure you have a sharp craft knife or something to cut the glue from the roof. the handles and sun visor are a pain to get out, remove the torx screws and pull like holy hell, they will eventually put out but may be re-used. mine was being torn out for good so didnt care, although the sun visors did go back in ok
