Default Removing XB headliner (cloth & fiberglass)...anyone?

Anyone here removed the entire headliner (the cloth and the - I'm guessing - fiberglass)? I want to mount a couple of flip-down LCD screens as well as installing a couple more dome lights.

Has anyone taken this piece off? How hard is it? Does it mess up the fabric? How about cutting it? Can I just use a dremel for the cloth & fiberglass....

Sorry for so many questions; but I'd really like to do this myself. Thanks!!!

You better plan on getting ahold of me when this is about to go down!!!! hahaha Cory from Kokomo and I are going to take his headliner down here in a few weeks. If you want to come watch/help that would be cool. I'll let you know later when exactly it is that we are doing this.

LOL...I ordered the dome lights today from Ed Martin (2 @ $30/each). They should be here Thursday or Friday. I may attempt this as early as this weekend!!!!

I'll let you know on Friday if I'm feeling brave or not!

Its very easy to do. Randode and I did mine and it went pretty smooth. You will need 3 or 4 yards to have some extra to do the hatch as well. I got 4 cans of glue to be on the safe side and I had only a half of a can left when finished!

Cool! I don't want to change the headliner, just remove it so I can cut some new holes two additional dome lights (one in the front, one in the back).

I was planning on removing the headliner, using an exacto knife to cut the cloth headliner, then using a Dremel to cut the plastic part.

We'll see how it goes.....
