My headliner had 5 metal rings that needed removal by prying up locking tabs. The problem with most headliner is separation between the fabric and foam. First, remove the fabric and discard.

If you foam is stuck on your headliner board (like mine) - you get the tedious task of scrapping it off. I used a flat rasp and scrubbed/scraped the foam and glue residue off. I truly believe that the more meticulous/anal you are about this, the longer your end product will last ;)


Once all of the foam is removed - sand the headliner board with 80/100 grit paper to remove extra glue and prep for the next phase.
