Anybody know how to remove the roof liner? I can't pull up the picks from the old threads.

I've had my headliner removed, it's not too hard. We first unscrewed all of the visor covers and the handles in the back. I believe the clock and the rear-view mirror came out too (if i remember correctly the rear-view mirror comes out by twisting it). We also loosened the weather stripping around the windows. Where the pillars meet the headliner is the hardest part, there are some clamps that hold the pillars to the frame, and we had to undo those to remove the headliner.

The only problem with the headliner is, it doesn't remove easily out the back of the MINI. It's larger than the opening. We had to bend ours a little to get it out.

You can see some shots from when we had it out here: http://www.mini2.com/gallery/personal/gallery_3869.html

Thanks. I love the new headliner. After bending the old headliner, was it still usable?
