Thread: ""HELP PLEASE"" interior wet after heavy rain

Here is a write up where someone is refinishing their headliner. The removal steps should be mostly the same.

How to remove and paint a headliner from a D2 - Land Rover Forums - Land Rover Enthusiast Forum

As the article above shows the head lining is a single piece so it means pulling the whole thing.

There a good procedure in RAVE which would be a useful accompaniment to the pictorial how to.

If you haven't already got a set nip down to Jaycar and grab a trim removal tool kit. I was hesitant about the $25 investment when I bought mine having experienced the "one use" quality of some of their products in the past. These have proven to be very sturdy and make pulling the trim clips without damaging the trim much, much easier.

I had to remove one of the rear upper "D" trims yesterday and discovered that even with the clips and screws removed it was difficult to get off. The trim section around the Alpine glass was stuck to the adhesive holding the window in place and required some gentle persuasion to release the trim. Not sure if this is common, as the glass may have been replaced at some point, but something to be prepared for.

I think they leak from the factory. They supply a whole book called " the Water Ingress Manual" to fix all the problems.
