    Great work! What was needed to get it down and angled enough to remove through the back?

    I had to “massage” it down so that one side was at the top and the other was down at base level to get it out, mainly because of the ducts for the rear ac get in the way with how they’re built into the roof liner. There will need to be some repairs as the hot glue used to fix them didn’t take to my massaging too well. I dread getting it back in!

    I also dread putting all the panel back in without rattles and creaks.

    Thursday is the re-lining day and I’ll consider reinstalling that day or the following. No rush.

    Do you need to remove a side in the rear area? What position were the seats?

    Fortunately I don’t have rear AC. The guy at B Trimmed in Osborne Park will recover mine if I remove it but he said rear AC was borderline impossible. He said the width makes them a real challenge you need the widest possible roll and must be placed perfectly central to for the take up of the curves.

    I think I will do a lot more disassembly before reinstalling. I didn’t take out the sides, though I had to take out all the upper pillars - which again, without taking out the lowers required some ‘coaxing’ and ranting. Seats in the rear lowered - I will lower the fronts to get it back in too.

    I also now have the dreaded red glue foam crap everywhere which is inevitable on removal. Have to clean that up internally before reinstalling because I don’t want that on the new one.

    I’ll keep you updated.
