Re: [DML] Replacing Headlining

["Dave Sontos" <dsontos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just replaced mine with ones from Houston. First remove the sun visors.
Then take a sharp knife or razor and cut off the old liner around the edge
where its glued, you may be able to peel up the old felt if the glue is old.
After you do that the liner panels should slide right out. Use a wire brush
or scraper and remove the old glued material from the door edge prior to
installing the new liner. Getting the sun visors lined up after putting in
the new liner is another challenge. I also replaced my courtesy lamp while I
had the liner out with a new one and made sure the wire connections were
good and tight.

Not the section above your head on the doors but rather the two pieces that
are under the T Panel inside the car.  Pulling back the weather strip around
the door, the originals seemed to be glued around the edge under the door
seals.  Also I know you have to be careful removing the original pieces as
they can slide forward and damage the windshield.  Just wanted to hear any
tips or things to watch when removing the old ones and also when installing
the new recovered pieces especially the overhang that goes under the door
seals and what type of sealant or glue to use for those edges under the
seals.
