rant *now with instructions on how to take down headliner*
This is REDICULOUS!!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing on this car is coming apart without breaking. I've broke 3 clips already and all I have out is the trim off the pilars. What retard came up with the idea of using plastic clips. He should be locked in a room and forced to EAT plastic clips to stay alive. You know what, f*ck it. The headliner will just have to fall on somebody. This is rediculous.

The florida heat has done a number on my OH **** handles... I have replaced 2 of them already, and another has cracked... 
If you have never taken the interior of these cars apart, a service manual would come in handy
