Easiest way to get headliner out?
I read somewhere that the easiest way to get a headliner out of an XJ (mine is a '92) is to remove the top rear trim just forward of the rear hatch door and pull it straight out.
This would be after removing the sun visors, upper console and dome light of course.
Anyone ever do it this way? Mine needs to be recovered.

On my 1998 you have to make sure you don't break the tabs on the cross-piece that holds the speakers in. Push up on the headliner so the tabs can clear 1 side at a time.
After you take the trim out all the way around as was stated.

I've had mine out for a couple weeks, I didn't realize what job that headliner also does insulating the car. The AC just won't cool the cabin with it out, and I can't wait to get the fabric back on it so i can stick it back in!

I pulled the drooping fabric out of mine, but left the foam and sprayed it with about 3 cans of undercoating. its still quiet that way.
