Question on removing the roof console
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi All, I am tackling the sagging headliner in my 2002 XKR coupe. I am removing the headliner myself and getting an upholstery shop to do the difficult bit with the re-covering. With the removal so far, I have got to the point of removing the roof console. I know it is held in place by 3 clips and I need to pop off the rear one first but I can't work out how to get the clip off the headliner. I don't want to damage the headliner base or the roof console so I am going carefully. Has anyone got a close up photo of the clip so I can see how to pop it off? Is it the same for the 2 clips towards the middle of the console? Does anyone have any tips on getting the console off without breaking anything? Any help is much appreciated.
As an aside, while I am doing the headliner I am also getting the A pillars and rear parcel shelf recovered, replacing the third brakelight and fixing the headrests but no problems with these matters.

Here is a Picture of te clip locations in the Homelink Sticky Thread

Pull down gently and the clips should pop out of the slots.
