Headliner removal/dent removal - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #61346 3 posts Started by jophish
So i have a small dent on the roof of my car right above the driver's side back window...i've tried to pull it out from the outside using various suction techniques...no good. I think it'd work better to take off the headliner and just hammer it out from the inside...is there any way to remove the headliner without taking off the entire interior paneling? If anybody's done this before some help would be awesome.

paneling must come off. unless you dont mind using a razer blade 0.o
To remove your headliner, its not that complicated. You will need to remove your sunvisors, your light, the 2 hooks at the rear for coat hangers and the 3 clips at the rear of the headliner. Then what you can do if you dont want to remove the pannels fully is you can pull gently on the plastic pannels around the edge. There will be enough room to remove the headliner. Mind you, things might be different depending if you have a sunroof or not. Ive only done this on a 6gc without a sunroof. All in all, if you have basic mechanical skills and about an hour (depending on how carefully/gently you take it out), you should be able to get it out without a problem.
