Removing a Williams 3 headlining

[northy]

Has anyone ever removed a Williams 3 headlining and refitted it without tearing it or creasing it ???


Martin i know you did yours - but was it still in one piece ???

Matt - can you help ?

I removed all the plastics then just slowly pulled mine of in one piece.....Has really thick black gunk holding it on, also use a glove as the fibre glass, slide your hand under it and push it down.

did it come without creasing mate....thats all im worried about.

I dont know if i can get another from renault if i mess it up !

It does look like its creasing when you pull it off.....but once it was flat mine was OK.

And when you refitted it mate - did your reglue it back in place ?

[Winston]

Its still out....... so you can have mine if you **** yours up

You would need to re glue it.

Northy, there's a logical explaination for this I'm assuming!?!? Tell me your not going stripped out as well!?!?

No. The car was booked intoday for the sunroof repairing.

But the specialist i took it too, didnt meet my high expectations. The guy didnt even ask me the basic question of where does it leak from. I gave the guy instructions not to mark the car in anyway and not to leave ANY dirty fingure prints on the headlining. To be honest - i didnt like the place mate. So he had a good talking to.

Anyway - left the car with him and a hour later he rang me up and said they wouldnt be able to remove the headlining without maybe damaging it. So i said leave it and i went to collect the car.

So im going to do it myself. Once the headlining is out its a simple job.....to remove and reseal the sunroof.

But i didnt know if anyone here has had any past experiance that may prove usefull to me.

I've done it mate. First off though, are you absolutely sure it's the roof seal and not the glass seal?

[northy]

yes...100%
