anyone know where to start removing the headlining from? i want to try and see if i can press out some of the dents on the roof prior to getting a total repair done , i know i wont get them all out but maybe some will pop up.Cheers

Although I've never done this one, here's my thoughts......

Remove the lights to the centre and front of the roof area.

Remove the plastic trim from the A, B, C pillars and top of boot opening - all of which are a case of pulling off as they use a push fit clip.

Remove what I recall is a rubber seal around the sun roof (if you've got one).

Carefully start in one corner and release the push fit clips by gently pulling the lining at strategic places (eg where it feels fixed).

Rich is on the money there. I took mine out when i done it in suede.

#Remove the tops of the pillers A,B,C and remove the bit running across the rear on the roof. Its only a thin bit of plastic
#Take out all the handles (2 srews in each)
#remove the middle light (only holding with 2 srews)
#remove the mirror (holding on 2 srews)
#remove the sun visors (3 screws each side)

The rubber seal is alittle over the roof. just pull the roof down to free it,

After you have removed all that give it alittle tug and push it back alittle coz theres is a clip inside the roof holding it up and it should come down. Make sure u take out your rear tray and put the rear seats down to make it easy to slide out the rear.

hope it helps

heres a pic when mine was out

Bazza ... did you get your dints out of the roof or not ?

it improved a bit,but as the supports under the roof had dented the roof up at points aswell ive just left it for the time being,better looking than it was though, as the metals been stretched when its been dented down you often find when you push it up the opposite happens and the dent goes up the way ,this would depend on how deep the dents are though.
