RE: [doc] Headliners

John,
Regarding removing the door headliners, I use a couple of thin metal
scrapers or pallet knives and slide them along each side of the "fir Tree"
fasteners, then very gently ease each one out a little and move your war
around slowly, little by little until they all start coming our. If your
rough with them you will break, what is the glorified cardboard backing. I
know Martin stiffens them up with F/glass resin before re-installation.
I've never removed the large one....it does need re-doing on Delores, but I
keep putting it off!

All.

OK, I have droopy headliner syndrome on the passenger side. I have
the spray adhesive on order. I visited Dave H and purchased a roll of
material which *exactly* matches the colour on my car (`Boeing' has a
black interior but the headliner is pale-mid grey, Dave offered me
the correct dark grey but I think it would make the cabin darker,
that maybe a small concession from `stock' but I am still debating).

All of the other areas covered by my headliner, the `T' section and
drivers door seem to have more spongy stuff behind them than is on
the standard backing to the material. These areas do not spring back
to position when pressed, resulting in several places where I have
left thumb imprints.

Should there be shaped foam sections between the metal/resin and the
headliner?

As a quick aside do the panels just pull out? Do they have clips that
will break, are they resilient to pulling, or are there fixing
screws/other which need removing?
