Removing grab handles to remove headlining

[rob_wilkinson]

does anyone know how to take the grab handles off so i can remove my headlinging.

push the pins that hold them on in to the car.

i used a hammer and braddel, so they go inside the car and will need replacing

oh, and if you can be arsed, find the old pins in the chasis and throw away.

[rob_wilkinson]

so you have to wack them right through

I undone the headlining near the tailgate on my car so i could fit a beesting aerial, fooking thing won't go back up :evil:

i had to drill my pins out - just used wittled down dowling rods to replace them.

as for replacing head lining at the rear, check youve not removed it from the hooks - theres little v shaped hooks along the roof - where the material in the roof lining is joined. you need to pull ther hooks down a little - slot the lining in and then oush too again. if its the foam thats dropped - simply use spray mount of similar adhesive

also - the lining is tucked up and taped down under the rubber surround on the hatch
