Guys, I may ask a question which is asked before, but I can't find anything.
How can I remove the interior roof lining only on the front of the truck to access the
Roof panel above the windscreen?
So long it comes away for around 5 cm that would be enough.

I know the mirror need to be removed, interior lights can stay as they in the lining themselves.
Anything I need to remove from the sunroof or so?
The sun visor need to be removed too I know that.
I just don't want to break anything.
Not sure if there some stupid clips around ?

Thanks

What vehicle? You've put this in 'Other vehicles' so I assume it's not your Pajero...

Sorry, sorry, sorry,

Didn't see where I put it.

Yes it's the pajero.
Long wheel based 1992 2,5td.

Heh - in which case, yep - undo the bolts holding the the sun visors and interior lights on, and if you need to pull it down more, undo the trim round the sunroof controls too. Also take off the front pillar trim panels. Then it's just clips along the edges of the headlining that just pull out.

Ok. Thank you

Think you need to undo the rear grab handles as well as the rear headling overlaps front headlining.

It depends how far down you need the front - if it's just so you can run some wiring across then you can get away without touching the sunroof controls and rear headlining section. But if you need it down completely (maybe to drill some holes in the roof for roof bars) then you need to drop the rear section as well.

Only wiring.
Should get away with a drop of 2-5 cm only.
Thanks
