A hole rusted in my roof and rotted my headliner. I fixed the hole and found a donor, but the windows aren't broken and I don't want to bend up the headliner too much removing it and putting it in my truck. Thanks

 

I have taken many of them in and out a two door sedan. Get it loose all the way around, work the driver's side front corner over the steering wheel, and let it drop to the front floorboard and go out the pass side door, front first. I am calling the rearview mirror area of the headliner the front.

 

So it can be done. That is what I needed to know. Thanks

 

You don't think it will fit through, but it does. Remember, they got it in there somehow, you can get it out.

 

I figured it went in before the front or back glass.

 

Very carefully. Just as Franklin says. It helps to have a helper as the backing can be brittle and easy to break pieces off. You'ok have to flex it just a little to sneak it out with the door on.

 

Thanks guys. I will be patient and careful. I work on other people's cars everyday. I will pretend it is one of their cars.

 

I did one in an 88 chevy crew cab, and I had to take the front seat out. But wasn't too hard. Keep in mind it was a crew cab with a full 4 doors, so your extended cab should be much easier.

And yes, the factory installs them before the glass is installed.

 

Duct tape can fix any little pieces that fall off or crack. When you glue the new headliner on the backing, that really holds everything together.
