It's always a good idea to unplug the car battery, wait 20 - 30 minutes and only then perform any repairs/changes, this reduces the risk of accidental airbag deployment :)
Yes very true but nothing on the headliner powers the airbags. It would first blow out a fuse for the lights but that’s bout it. Unless you purposely stab the airbags or their power supply.
Very impressive video! Do you ever pad or tape any wires behind the roof liner to eliminate rattles? My mk6 has a rattle that seems to be coming from the roof liner behind the driver seat…
I didn’t but if you have a a sunroof might be one of the hoses to route the water out to the back. Would be something I would check if you ever do the headliner. And clean out the hoses cause they get clogged.
@@NarBrosGarage Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated. I don't have a sunroof, but my 2014 mk6 does have a hose under the headliner to spray windshield wiper fluid on the rear window. I suspect that (or the electrical cable for roof light) is what's rattling.
thx for this diy... looking to replace headliner in mk6 golf 4d w/sunroof. the mk5 option 1K4-867-502-A-6K8 is significantly less $ than the mk6 5K4-867-502-A-6K8. it seems that the geometry is identical. are there any differences in material or quality?
Just replaced my headliner and everything was going just fine until the reinstall when i managed to severe the cable for the interior lighting just at the same point where you've joined your cable could you give me any tips on how to rejoin these wires just like you have ..
Yes strip back the plastic only exposing the copper, then soder some small wires to both ends and tape it. And that’s it, ps: use a lighter to expose the copper out those plastic lines/ or a new Gillette. Hope it helps
I would love too but I just make videos on my own cars. Sometimes friends but I’m working full time again. That why the videos have slowed down too. But I will make a video on how to check for leaks since one of my cars taking I water. But you do have to remove the headliner.
That's what she said 😂😂😂
Great video
Im doing mine, but im replacing the fabric.
They want 250 for a used one.
I spent 60.00 on fabric and adhesive
Wow 😲 I can see why they charge so much to get it replaced. Thanks great video, you make it look so easy 👍
Trying to help you guys save some money. More videos on the making as well. And appreciate the comments 💪🏽

Expose the wire with a blade and solder it

Mk6 are more available . And nope seems like the same material to me. And same fit.
@@NarBrosGaragecan headliner from golf mk6 fit in mk5 with all handrails and everything?
@@papichulo4722 yessir as long as it’s the same amount of doors. Meaning 2door for 2 door only
@@NarBrosGarage Does pillar trim A fit in, I read on some forums that it dosen't fit?
@@NarBrosGarage btw thank you
One question I always wanted to know: is it pretty much the same or mk6 headliner can be directly fitted to mk5?
Yup.
Just make sure it’s for the same amount of doors. Meaning if gti 2 and 4 door version.
@@NarBrosGarage Thanks bro!
Bro does the mk6 headliner fit in the mk5 with all ABC pillars?
Yes headliners are the same.
Just replaced my headliner and everything was going just fine until the reinstall when i managed to severe the cable for the interior lighting just at the same point where you've joined your cable could you give me any tips on how to rejoin these wires just like you have ..

@@NarBrosGarage Thanks for the help will definitely give it a go ..
Desperately need a video showing how to reinstall it and how to do the moonroof...I'm stuck!
What’s the orange tool you’re using where can I purchase that?
Harbor freight and trim removal tool .
Well done! Seems you are in the NY metro area, can I hire you guys to remove mine and help me find the source of a leak?

Mk6 gti headliner bolts right up on a mk5?
Yes it does.
Great video, definitely reduced my fear of my mk6 headliner failing!
Hello so I don't know if you'll even reply, this video is old but did you have to do anything for the airbags to not explode
Unplug your battery and just don’t stab them with the screw driver .
@@NarBrosGarage thank you! I will remember that for when I do it myself :)
Lights dont turn on now 😮💨😮💨 any idea what could happen??
You plugged in all the harness back in ?
@@NarBrosGarage yesir, ill check fuse tomorrow, thanks for answering sir
@@NarBrosGarage it was the fuse 👍🏾
How many clips on the front of the headliner by the windshield?
There is only clips by the sunroof.
are all the screws t17 ?
So bets bet is to go to harbor freight and get a set of t torque screw drivers. There is a few t15 in there.
@@NarBrosGarage i have t15, i dont think they have t17 in the sets. I should probably get in electrical store
There is no t17, (he probably confused with T27) with t-15 and T20 +T25 you should remove all.
How much headliner u used?
Watch the video. It’s an mk6 one
@@NarBrosGarage yea I see how many yards I saw the video
It’s a factory headliner. I just swapped it.
@@NarBrosGarage ohh okay, so u don’t know how many yards u bought of headliner fabric?
@@elsalvador-kw9xo he didn’t buy any fabric ? He bought a new headliner ? He didn’t re trim anything
Always clean ur camera
Hey did God send you?
He actually did. 💪🏽 and no prob bro hope the videos helped.
