Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • 2006 Polo (gti) headliner removal (guide and/or advice)

    Hi team,

    I've got lucky with a polo developing a sagging headliner cloth and am wanting to replace this myself.

    I've already come unstuck (pardon the pun) with removing the side column sections below it and wondered if anyone had a guide they've done on how to remove all the bits before I permanently destroy clips and screws.

    Or I'll take any advice/experience and wisdom on how to remove this section in particular.

    Many thanks in advance
    Luke

    *mobile site is bugged. Edit turned to delete??

    **Edit to add removal of handles
    Handles:
    -flip handle downwards
    -open little tab cover all the way and let go of the handle
    -undo both torx bits holding it in

    A-Pillar:-Pop the airbag tag
    -Undo the Torx bit
    -Gently pull the top of the trim away towards the rear view mirror.
    -Pop all button clips off and disconnect the tweeter
    -Pull the entire trim upwards and out.


    B-Pillar:
    -Pop the airbag tag
    -Drop the seatbelt adjuster as far down as possible
    -Undo the Torx bit
    -Pull away from column -> there are 4 button bolts rear window side that hold the trim in.


    C-Pillar:
    -Nothing required, does help having it in when putting it back in


    Far back Support trim above the parcel shelf (Between each C-Pillar):
    -Pull directly down. There is a plastic tab that holds the headliner under there


    Map light(VERY LAST):
    -Pull the rear most trim down
    -Then pull the Map light down and disconnect all electrical connectors.
    (Both only have safety clips holding them in place)
    -Undo the Torx bits holding the headliner to the ceiling; here it will fall downwards. Just pull it towards the windscreen and it will drop out.


    Hope this helps
