W124 Headliner Replacement Photos
I spent the evening catching up on a little work on Brutus, a '95 E320 Sedan. Replaced the inner door panels, and realized that Dave (Sixto) has really raised the bar on DIYs. So the next project was to replace a sagging headliner, installed a factory-new auto-dimming mirror while in there, repaired the visor mirror lids, installed the optional rear-seat reading lamps, and removed the optional (Special Edition) phone overhead display module.
This is for the later (bonded) headliner, starting in '90 I believe. The early one is a bit different, but less prone to sagging.
Pardon me if I don't know how to integrate text with photos, I'll do my best.
First step is to open the sunroof half-way. Then carefully tug downward on the front edge of the inner-panel of the sunroof (don't pull carelessly and bend it), there are four "christmas tree" clips holding it to the sunroof steel panel.
Once un-clipped, you can slide the inner panel forward. Open the sunroof the rest of the way, slide the inner panel forward until you can slide it up and out of the opening.
