Nicely done. Thorough and not too wordy. Video moved along at a perfect pace hit>> once just to skip the audio of tool listing. That is notable. I look forward to part 2.
Thanks: Here's part 2 of installing the headliner.
As a Christian, I can't help but express gratitude to those that do a great job in helping others - thanks for the extremely insightful pointers - right down to tips on prying the connectors and clips apart - extremely thorough video.
Thank you! That's what its all about helping others and to try and save people some money or to at least better understand their repair situation. It takes me many days to produce a very detailed quality video and I'm glad you enjoyed the finer details.
Hi, Christian!
Thank you for putting together such an awesome, informative, and detailed video. I have a 05 300C that I will be installing Stars in the Ceiling in, and this is the first step. Wish me luck !
Thanks I appreciate that, and You Got This! This took me many days to do, more so the editing so the video was straight and to the point.
Let me know how your project turns out. Like I want you to be seeing stars.
@@FixCarYourself Removed my headliner last night without incident. :) Referenced this video about ten times. You're a lifesaver!
@@msmello925 Glad you did it yourself, and that you are seeing stars, and I mean that in a good way!
@@msmello925 I have a 2006 Chrysler 300c srt8 . I wanna do the star light roof. I have a few questions. My 300 rn is my daily to work. I stay in tx where right now it’s high 90s. was you able to removal and install the star lights. Was it a one day process. And other question is dose your 300 have a sunroof. Personally I wanna do the sunroof part, don’t want that open gap.
@@jesserios8420 With the help of THIS video, I was able to remove and reinstall the headliner with ZERO issues. No - it is definitely not a one-day process. You could probably do it over a weekend. It's a fun project, and definitely worth it IMO. Installers here in Cali want close to $3,000 to install them. I did it for under $300 all things considered. My car does not have a sunroof. I'm not sure how you would go about putting the lights in that sunroof cover part - But I'm sure there are videos on how to do that. Do yourself a favor and buy the longer fiber optic strands. I originally bought a 9-foot kit and it ended up being too short. I bought the 13-foot kit and it works great. The box is in my spare tire well and the fiber optic bunch runs down my C pillar on the passenger side.
This helps out a lot. I have 2011 300 and need to replace the sunroof.
Glad it helped. It's very similar.
Did the headliner get damaged by folding it to get it put off the car?
Great video! My headliner is beginning to sag and I was curious as to how much of a pain in the ass it would be to remove it myself. I now see that headliners are overrated!! 😂 😂
Great job in the video though, thank you for making it 👊 💪🏻
Thanks. Glad it helped. It sure did take me a long time to take it off, and organize all the pieces and bolts. Would hate to do it again.
appreciate you bro
Thanks for the complement!
So im wrapping my roof and my 300c SRT8 has the antenna fin, and i need to remove that out of the way and then wrap the roof. For that would i only need to remove the rear C pillars + rear handles and pull the headliner down slightly or just pop the tab down from the rear center edge and kinda put my arm in and feel where that bolt is that screws the antenna up ?
I'm thinking option 1. It's a little more work, but you want to make sure the antenna fin is back in properly, and you will have to use a ratchet to make sure it is secured again.
Great job! This is the video I've been waiting on! Everything was explained in great detail, but my question is would it be easier to remove the headliner from the trunk? Or is that even possible? I'm just really nervous about cracking it.
Its possible, you would still have to do a lot of bending which may be the problem which I'll explain shortly. Also the seat belt in the center may get in the way.
The main reason why I did it through the right rear door is because the manufacturer suggested it that way.
That doesn't mean its not possible to do it through the trunk.
However, I'm guessing but I may be wrong on this: that when the headliner comes off it can only bend the way as shown in the video (as the headliner is stiff).
So when going through the trunk you would have to bend or fold it both ways, which is why I believe the manufacturer suggests folding or bending it and taking it out through the rear door because it can't be bent both ways.
If another viewer who has taken off the headliner can let us know that would be helpful.
Also I did not crack it as I took it out but I was careful. It's possible if the rear door is also taken off, their would be less stress on the headliner as you bend it.
Of course that would be more work and you would need more tools and a holding or lifting device like a table, jack stand, or wheelbarrow for the door. Not sure if it's worth the extra time to remove the door.
Ok cool! Thanks once again
I had to learned this situation the hard way but I pretty much got it like how all you did here only because I have noticed a bad funky stinch smell from the headliner I found a mice nest above my headliner it was so bad I had to deep clean it really good before installing it back in otherwise I wanted to see a video on how anybody have taken down there headliner like this in there charger I seen a few ideas you did that I should of done but its already done and yes it really is time consuming very much
Well I'm glad it helped. How did the mice get into the headliner?
@@FixCarYourself I found out the way they got up there was through the front two pillars they climbed through there and built a nest out of insulation and styrofoam is was gross and smelly urine
I can't believe you fold the headliner like that. I am working on my sunroof, and I can't see to do something like that. So the headline is just hanging in the car for now. Lol
Did you figure it out. Is it still connected to a wire?
Im doing this right now 😅
Hi Great Video ❤
Can you help me to know if i can change the headliner 2009 to 2015 same car , also same size headliner?
Most likely its different. Their could be a few different connection points.
How did u get the clip in the light switch out I got 2 of them I just can't get the middle one disconnected any tips
Can you tell me the time in the video where you are having a problem? Most likely its a switch you have to press on, and then carefully wiggle it out.
My sunroof is leaking in my 2006 300 C. I’m gonna have to be doing this to get to the sunroof to fix the drainage trays. I was considering taking the headliner out of the backseat area with the seats folded down. Wonder if that would work better?
Sounds good. I actually did put the seats down all the way. But I would recommend taking off the headrests as well.
Was it any harder to do with the sunroof? Or just more clips?
It's about the same, just got to remove more rubber molding and disconnect 1 or 2 extra wire connectors.
did the bend on the headliner when you removed it stay or any marks of the bends after the fact?
Also, I did not notice any marks, but once the entire headliner is off, it makes a great opportunity to clean it, especially in areas that might be a litter dirtier.
🔥🔥
Thanks
Know if this will work for a CSRT-4?
This is similar more so to the Charger, Magnum, and the 300. However, the concept is the same in terms of what needs to be removed.
My car is a 2009 dodge charger and i have in the side pillars by the seat belts and the rear seat pillars
Any way around that?
Can you restate your question? In order to remove the headliner the pillars have to be removed.
This guy deserves a mf award 🫡 full in depth detail, well done folks
Thanks so much. It took a long time to do this! Glad you appreciate this video.
Will this work for the 2011 to 2012 versions too?
They did a redesign around that time. It might be similar for the most part. Possibily the b pillar might be different. I really don't think you'll have that much problem. As you start working on it... have extra sockets for different sizes.
First where do you live? I am having a hard time trying to get my 2005 Chrysler 300 moonroof fixed because it’s leaking. I checked the seal and it seems in good shape but I looked inside the cover of the moonroof to see if there was any trash in there so I could blow it out. Looked again, saw some straw in there and stuck my hand in there to get it out, we have a lot of pine trees, pulled out what looked like black plastic. This leak has caused a lot of damage to the inside of my car, headliner, carpet and heaven only knows what else. The headliner has dropped out at the back window.. Anyway my question is what could be wrong on the cover over my moonroof? I had to get a car cover to put on the car so I can’t drive it in the rain. There’s a long story behind all this damage. A few things I’ve already had fixed. The drainage tubes were blown out, they weren’t stopped up but the leak is still there. Any suggestions, please? I can’t find anyone who thinks they can fix it and I don’t have a warranty. Any advice would be appreciated,
Hard to say exactly, but some ideas to consider and to do further research on: would be to use a dent puller to pop up the dent damage. Possibly some Bondo to repair any other areas that can't be pulled out. Also potentially look into using some expanding foam like great stuff on the inside of the headliner.
I really need some advice. I looked again a couple of days ago and it feels like the back of the moonroof might be loose from the top of the car?
I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful. I was hoping you lived in SC and could bring it to you and pay you to fix it!!!
thanks. No offense taken. I don't live in SC.
the back of the moonroof should have a clip of sorts that helps hold the rear of the roof in place. I have seen some people use double side tape or with Velcro to help keep it in place. But the adhesive side needs to be rated at a higher temperature so it doesn't melt from the heat of a hot car inside.
HELLO WHAT IS THE PART CALLED THATS ON THE SIDE OF THE SEATBELT PILLAR THE CREAM LIKE WEATHER STRIP
its a rubber seal but you sad it correctly its weather stripping, but for the door.
I have a sunroof in my 300, will it just be clips that I need to undo or will it be more?
Remove the rubber molding around the sunroof, and I think their is 1 electrical sunroof clip that needs to be disconnected. Not too much different.
its gonna crack the abs plastic in the headliner. trust me i removed mine and it cracked in two spots
mine has panoramic and the frame that goes around the glass is made into the headliner and it will crack when trying to take it out the car😢😢😢
I wonder why it wasn’t taken out through the trunk. Maybe tie the ends with parachord, make an x and pull so it folds as you pull. I never done this before so idk how it’d go
Good question. I wanted to remove it from the trunk as well. It sounds logical, but believe it or not doing it through the door meant less of a fold on the headliner. Also, theirs like a bump/block in the trunk when you open the rear seats. So the headliner has to be bent even more. Didn't want to risk it cracking and leaving a scar. That's why it was done through the side door as to not damage the headliner so I could reuse it.
Would like to know what the difference between this and a roof with a sunroof
The sunroof has an extra wire harness connector near the front dome reading lights (obviously with a sun roof control buttons), and I believe their is another connector towards the rear C Pillar. So pretty much the wire connector harness is different.
Removing the one with the sun roof is easier to get out as opposed to the full headliner (from a space point of view).
Their is also some extra trim/molding that is part of the sunroof.
the sunroof headline is worse, has a plastic abs frame for the glass and its gonna crack once you bend it trying to remove it out the car
wow how clutch is this video
thanks!
Anyone got tips for sunroof stuck all the way open and no power to it, currently watching this and cant figure the sunroof switch clip out 😂
Very funny 1:22.. "Surprisingly all you'll need are 345 tools and the assistance of 3 certified chrysler technicians a 24 pack of coronas and father Greg from the exorcist " 😂 why are you whispering dude?
Did I just witness the theft of your neighbors car interior or something 😅
🤡 hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah 🤡
Now, will putting it back be even harder?
To me its easier, but I made a 2nd video on how to install one. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/kCNXgGoYR8I/w-d-xo.html You decide and let me know what you think.
Great job. It looks like this is a Chrysler 300. I think you should have taken it out through the truck. That door was taxing.
I thought about doing that, however I realized that it is actually not possible to remove it through the trunk as I would have to completely fold the headliner to remove it. Taking it out thorough the rear door means I only had to bend it not fold it. The manufacturer also recommends taking it out through the rear door.
Another thing I could have done, was to remove the entire rear door, so their would be less folding
@@FixCarYourself good info.
@@phillipgoodmandj-drfeelgoo920 thanks! Glad it helped.
How difficult was this 1-10?
Not difficult just time consuming, and be organized with all screws and parts. I would rate this at a 5.
6:32 Why does this not sound Gently 😅😂
I moved back with my camera so it sounded like that but, easy to do.
@@FixCarYourself 💯
Lol that sound is still epic 😆
I have a sunroof in mine that has to be repaired. I will do it myself as the dealers quote is ridiculous.
Good to hear. How much did they want to charge you?
Lmk please
Can you tell me the time in the video where you are having a problem? Most likely its a switch you have to press on, and then carefully wiggle it out.
Back seat side bolsters a pain in the ass
Yep, I agree. I made a separate video on that, because you gotta be careful otherwise the clip can break that secures it.
Just need to pull back half down, chipmunk got up there, no clue how, completely rust free car, some vent? It has nest up behind sun roof and the curtain will not go back all the way, can hear something up there so will be fun if does not get out before I drop it..
Couldn't you just loosen upper side of C pillar and have headliner clear instead of pulling seat and lower then upper? 12:40 in your video, It is only under the upper portion a little bit in video.. ?? As I stated I want to do minimal as possible, have power moon so rather not do all this just to vacuum out a nest... Might be hard for me to do that way as I did not wish to take it all out, but if removing entire headliner if just popped upper loose and when rest is loose, pull forward to clear then remove like video, have more forward when install and tuck before lift in place..
Just went out n looked at my 2010, is different than yours. nothing in rear to take off other than the grab bar, the sides have 2 pieces up top where yours had the 1, and then headliner is velcroed to roof,, I was able to pull in center of back window the 3 velcro patches free and can see up to behind power window and the nest without even pulling the grab bars free... will stick vac up in there tomorrow..
Nice! the vac should get most of that stuff out! Stick you phone in to see whatever you didn't get of the nest.
@@FixCarYourself My kid was able to view from trunk side through rear glass, and after I was done vacuuming I pulled it down low enough to look for myself.. filled that vac up 2 times.. so think it was up there from previous year stored in another garage, was only in this one a few weeks...
You really don’t need all that
did the bend on the headliner when you removed it stay or any marks of the bends after the fact?
No crease and it looks like it conformed back as if I never took it off.
