Headliner removal

[nfpgasmask]

Hey,

So I ordered one of Tone's scan guages. I am thinking I would like to build a small custom angled box for it and mount it to the headliner.

So I am thinking this is possible, but how difficult and how much work is it to get the headliner off, and drivers side A-pillar trim so I could mount it there and run the cable down.

Anyone ever do something like this?

Is this even worth the effort?

A pillar comes off with gentle prying, starting at the top.

Once you decide on loca., make a small hole in the headliner & snake a wire hanger over to your wire.
Tape the wire to the end of the hanger, pull it out through the hole.

Hmmm, that would be an option, but I was hoping to get a piece of ABS or aluminium under the headliner to bolt to, thus creating a tighter fit. I guess I will have to see how things will fit once I get the guage. Perhaps I could get a way with your idea....

Thanks-

Bart

you can get the front of the headliner down very easily.. remove the visors with a couple of screws (i forget how many) the" OH @#$#" handles with 2 screws (one on each side of the handle) i think you may also need to pull the weather stripping down off the door, which is also easy to pull out and push back in, then you can gently pull down on the front of it and it comes down pretty easy.. just dont pull too far or hard or you will crease it behind your seats

to mount my ddc controller i did the following:

• remove driver/passenger 'oh-sh*t' handles
• remove weather stripping just past a-pillar
• remove a pillars (they just snap off)
• remove sunvisors
• remove sunvisor 'snap bar' plastic piece (it just snaps off after the screw is removed. just pull straight down with some force)

this allows you to pull the front part of the headliner down to mount to, etc.

best of luck, bart!

to remove the A pillars... pull from the top straight across the windshield... then lift up towards the OH @$%! handle (theres a plastic hook at the bottom of the a pillar that gets all messed up if you just yank it out along the windshield)
