headliner replacement
Hello everyone I am getting ready to replace the sagging headliner in my X. I ordered 108 by 60 of a great matching material. I understand that once I get the pillars and other accessories removed I take the shell out the back door. My question is do you guys have any tips? I have seen the pdf for removing the moldings but dont really understand them. Any advice would be great I dont want to screw it up :-P
how do I remove the B and C pillars along with the molding that goes along the sunroof. i got the a pillar off and the front lights and dome light off right now

Alright I have the thing removed from the headliner the only thing I broke was the base of the c pillar... thought it would just pull off. My next dilemma is what do I do with the wires glued to the other side of the headliner http://db.tt/q4rtlhRM

Although the headliner issue turns up in XJ and XK sections from time to time, you may be venturing into unknown territory for many X-Type owners. Only the really unlucky will have seen the 'wrong' side of their headliner.
I've added your pic from post #2 here as I missed it was a link on first reading:
Are you concerned about removing/replacing the wiring harness or hoping not to have to disturb it?

You'll have to let us know how it goes and post some pics. Mine has started to sag a little on the rear corners. I've replaced headliner before on an S10, my only concern would be getting it out of the vehicle. Oh an make sure to use a little extra spray on tight bends because if you don't, it will start to sag in high heat, might I ask what adhesive you are planning on using?

I used the two cans of hi temp adhesive. It was no fun doing it while the headliner was in the car but the nice thing is you have a couple minutes before it geta too sticky and once you put the accessories back up the small mistakes work themselves out. I got quoted 900 from the shop. This cost me 60 bucks and was a great learning experience.
