Search is down, so I need someone to help me figure out how to take down the headliner from a 97 Civic EX. I'm hunting for a rattle up there. I looked at the FAQ and they have the whole process for the 92-95's, so if anyone could tell me or point me in the right direction, that would be cool...

Thanks in advance.

you gotta remove all interior side panel. might have to take the rear seats too. then take off all the stuff from the headliner [lamp, pass. handel, sun visors, rear view mirror, oh and the little tabs]. and your headliner should just come off. hit me up if you have trouble.

You only really need to remove somethings from one side, since you can angle it out once you remove them. IIRC, you do need to remove the rear seat so you can access bolts for the upper rear quarter window trim (the light plastic that goes over/behind the quarter window). To replace the lower rear quarter trim you will have to remove the rear seat bottom, but you don't need to remove the lower seat section to be able to pull the lower rear quarter panel out.

The moonroof "seal" just needs to fold around the headliner btw.
