I really need this headliner out. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I saw in another thread someone said they got their headliner out with the windshield still in the car.

After getting the headliner down, I realize I really hate working on the interior of this car... No bolts all snap together.

I figured out everything else, but the door openings seem way too small to get it out.

Maybe with the seats, and console removed. I would disconnect the battery because of the airbags/sensors.

Just curious why you are taking it out?

maybe he wants to put one of these in.

Can you fold the seats down and take it out through the trunk?

Haha that's funny. You've seen how little the opening is in the Camaro right?

I would imagine taking the seats out and some careful maneuvering and some bending out the passenger or driver door...when I've replaced headliner on other vehicles before the bends didn't show whenever everything was reinstalled

I am a Chrysler tech and alot of our cars (challenger,300, charger) are supposed to have the windshield removed and the headliner removed through the front.

It would be super easy if it was a hatchback. Most modern cars require the removal of the windshield, the manufacturer does it for easy installation. Personally I think it's bs, seems like glass guys always f something up.
