"I kept the drilling chips to a minimum" "I did not remove the headliner"
"No one would ever guess it was not stock"

How did you paint, prime that area ?
where did the metal chips from 15 holes go ?

If he did it the same way I did, when you only lower the headliner (not fully remove it), the metal chips just drop onto the headliner from above and you just vaccuum them out when you are finished.

You can prime the holes from the top of the roof - you just don't use a spray bomb.

Didn't waste my time. Did put some silicone around them.

Minimum chips because I used a greenlee knockout. But the chips that fell I vacuumed up with the shop vac crevice tool. I'm sure I didn't get every chip.
