Release the draught welt from above the doors,
and down as far as the striker.
Remove the rear quarter trim panels.
Remove backlight glass.
Remove the clips securing the edges of the roof
lining to the flanges of the door and backlight, and
release the roof lining. All edges are secured to the
flanges In production with adhesive solution.
The lining is now supported by the listing rails and
the header pad only. Remove the rearmost listing
rail first.
Continue to release the remaining rails in turn by
springing the lower edges inwards to release from
the locating holes in the cantrails.
Remove the screws securing the header pad to the
top of the screen and remove pad.
To refit
The services of two people are required to refit the
lining. In order that the lining will conform to the
shape of the inside of the roof, listing rails of
different contours are used, the ends of which are
coloured to aid identification, the position of which
MUST be observed when removing the lining.
It will be noted that there are three alternative
locating holes (3) in the cantrail for the ends of each
listing rail. These holes accommodate any variations
which may occur during the original making up of
the lining.
Clean off all traces of old adhesive from the
flanges
of the doors and backlight aperture. Before
fitting
the new headlining, apply a suitable adhesive to the

door flanges and backlight aperture and allow it to
become nearly dry.
To refit the lining, reverse the removal procedure.
The lining when fitted must be free from creases
with no sagging occurring anywhere.
Note
After fitting the header pad, and BEFORE fitting
the remainder of the lining, secure the header pad
by temporarily replacing the sun visor (I) and rear
view mirror (2) retaining screws, otherwise, when
pulling on the lining to remove the creases which
occur while fitting, the header pad will be pulled
out of position, necessitating starting again.
