ok look you asked for advice, i told what i got to work and what i couldnt get to work. If you can get it to work by going by the manual and managed to not damage the liner i would love to know how you got it to work. I couldnt get it to work so i do the easy/quick way in the industry im in time is money i fiddled with the whole seat thing and couldnt do it w/o damaging the headliner. thats my advice do what you will with it

hey sorry man, i didnt mean to get you pist.. i read the manual and talked to a service guy over at a chevy dealership that we deal with at the body shop i work at.. he said they dont know if it will come out if you go by the manual because they havent replaced a headliner in the new camaro yet.. thats why i asked you if you took the seat out when you tried..

just wanted to bump this thread and say that i got the headliner out of the car by just removing the passenger seat, putting the shifter in drive with the car off, putting the tilt on the steering wheel all the way down and being very careful.. so.. it is possible..

reviving an old post...got it out today...and it was a real PITA! but it does work. have to spin the b1tch around backward and some wriggling to get it right. we'll see how the new one goes back in...should be interesting.

If you remove the front passenger seat you can get it out without having to pull the windshield.

edit:

I need to look at post dates before replying

Haha...it happens. Got the headliner replaced, practically stripped out the interior minus the driver seat. With a little patience, it WILL go back in without bending or removing the windshield.

I have to do this to my car. Can't stand the Gray/Titanium, least I'll already have the seats & console out for a carpet swap.

Fo sho...that'll make it a lot easier. As well as pulling out all the rear quarter panel trim. its not difficult but it is time consuming. Patience, patience, patience. Good luck bro.
