after the rear wrap is released...u need to hold these 'hangers' that hold up the rod to the body....just hole them with pliers and move the rod backwards, that will release it from the hook
Headliner is down.....no cracks, no damage, no tearing...
still have this layer of pre-historic insulator intact....seems its glued to the roof
frankly it was a piece of cake to remove the headliner in ONE piece....the only thing was the amount of dirt and the rear window removal.

question...because i want to prepare the wiring.... as im not into massive amplifiers and boom boxes....would running the audio wires near the power wires (tail lights and power windows) have any effect....i did have hissing and all sorts of noises...but i guess they came from a few shorts here and there..
i want to set the wires....colour coded and taped together tomorrow till i get round to finalizing them...any help/advice appreciated.
and if anyone has a basic guide to what wire gauge to use for connections....im sure Toyota used the 'appropriate' type...but does it give enough juice?

yes running speaker/amplifier wiring with power wiring will result in bad hum and hiss.

so do i need to buy shielded audio wire or what?...if i find various routes to and from the back, i still end up with audio wires behind the dashboard...where power wires are massive in comparison to the tail light wiring...
i was actually thinking of designing the center console to house the stereo....hmmmmm....then i could use the original opening for my Garmin 276c GPS.....

im not too keen on installing video player etc in the car.....i guess kids these days have lost the 'human' connection by plain old talking....its now just click, like or even worse...poking....looool..... i intend to enjoy timeless conversations with my family in all our journeys.
Oh sorry small little power wires will be ok, I just meant if you are running a large power wire like 0 gauge you will not want to run your speaker wires and amp wires next to it.

That is even a much different headliner than we have here. In the US the headliner is hard fiber board kind of material that is stiff. Is that is more like the 55 and 60 headliner with bows?
