headlining

[fever]

Hi, I want to put a sunroof in my car, but previously I have to remove the headlining, but can´t see it how to do it...

Any ideas?

Which type of headlining do you have, the soft or the hard plastic one?

Hi Angel... (my real name is Angel too... ),,, I have the soft one

That's my real name, too! So we have the same name and the same headlining on our R4s... it is retained on the front by the sun visor screws and at the rest of the roof panel circumference by a sheet metal "pocket". You should bend this open sufficiently enough to loosen the headlining trapped inside. (look at the drawing below to understand). Renault advices the use of a tool like this on the drawing, but any similar wide flat tool will do.
It is really a job of patience, I entrust it to my upholstery specialist usually.

Do what Angel says and don't use a screwdriver! - makes the edge wavy and the headlining looks ugly when it's back in place (speaking from experience here)

Oops... a screwdriver is always the first option ... thanks for advice, I surely had used the sharpest one :roll: !... and many thanks Angel for your really useful information here...
