Headliner - Removal/Install Notes

[shogun]

Once you have a small bubble - and the wind hits it - the glue pulls away. what is today a minor irriataion - tomorrow is a major sag.

That's the point.
I had a small bubble of around 20 cm dia. near the rear window for >2years.
One day I drove the car with all 4 windows open, I suddenly had a Pagoga headliner, it had dropped from front to rear.

If the Front Seats are moved all the way forward and the back Reat of the front seats are Moved all the way forward as well the Headliner Board should be removed through the Back Doors ( Seats Dont need to be removed ) Really Easy after detaching the rear clips move the headliner board all the way to the rear over your rear hat tray.Drop down the front of the Board just behind the Rear of the front seats and turn the board it will exit right out the back doors with Ease.

Another great write up. Has anyone seen a similar write up for an E61 with the panorama roof?

Holy old thread revival Batman. I did that 8+ years ago. I just installed child seat anchors in the rear deck and the material has pealed away again.

I did it 10 years ago and nothing pealed away so far. Most important is to clean the old foam and glue very carefully away that the new glue works well.
See here how we removed it on a E32 750iL Highline
