Audi Coupe Head lining removal

[Olly]

As per the subject, the time has come to replace the headlining on my Coupe.

The car stood outside for 2 years prior to me buying it, and the headlining is mouldy in places & the foam backing is shot, so it's starting to sag.

I've already found repalcement headlining & glue, but wondered if anyone has done this before, or knows of a "how to" guide ?

I've just re-fitted all the wooden trim, so know how to remove the rear "door" cards, which I think I need to do to remove the trim from the B & C pillars, but I'm not sure how to tackle the A pillars or sunroof !

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Wait for a hot day as the glue is easier to part from the roof. There is a big patch behind the sunroof.
There aren't any suprises, but it is easy to break little bits of plastic trim if you're not careful.

Thanks for the reply - I'm finding dribs & drabs here & there on how to do it, but think I'll just approach carefully (like the rear "door" cards)

Best thread I've found so far is here

Have just posted this on S2Forum.com, but thought I'd try here too.....

The headling pannel is now out of the car which wasn't too bad a job (I've taken loads of pics & will post a "how to" later), but I can't see an easy way of removing the sun roof panel to retrim ? Do I need to drop the whole sun roof out the car (14, 13mm bolts I think) ?

Still not finished the car (have been working all weekend), but have managed to knock up a "How To" guide for the whole process.

Just a warning, there are 63 "500x375" pictures on the page, so give it a chance to load !
