Instructions for removing the headliner:

1) Remove the body fuse (cavity #2) from the fuse box on the left side of the console, behind the carpeted door.

2) Remove sun visors (3 Phillips screws each), and unplug wire.

3) Remove sun visor clips.

4) Remove shoulder belt bezel and coat hook from both left and right C-pillars then pull the C-pillar trim back on both sides.

5) Remove molding from around sunroof perimeter.

6) Remove lens from dome lamp and remove bulb.

7) Using thin flat blade screwdriver, pull down on the two lock washers that attach dome lamp to headliner.

Hint: put a piece of tape on the bottom of each stud. Once the washers are loose, they tend to fly into an inaccessible place in the car. The tape will hold them until you can grab them.

8) starting near the rear window, carefully reach up between the headliner and the roof.  There are six Velcro strips that secure the headliner to the roof. two in back, one above each door, and two in the front. Slowly remove them, and slide the headliner back, and out the door.{xtypo_warning} THERE IS NO REASON TO REMOVE THE A-PILLARS ! If you attempt to, they will many times break.
