Trying to remove the sunroof metal top so I can remove the shuttle without removing the headliner. I already recovered my headliner. Now I am planning on recovering my fabric shuttle. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 10-26-2013, 01:26 PM | #198 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | More pictures for details: 1.

Then unscrew the 5 screws on the shuttle and lift it out the top? | | | 10-26-2013, 06:43 PM | #200 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | Quote: Originally Posted by cjm1219 Ok. so take the metal roof piece off. 3 17mm bolts and the one t20 along the side.

That's about it. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 02-22-2014, 10:20 PM | #201 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | And... 30 minutes later, the headliner is out... hopefully I'll get the sunroof fixed next week, just in time for warmer weather here. Looks like bazar01 added some photos since the last time I checked this thread... thanks! __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

No time to replace the fabric myself at the moment, looking for a reasonable place near Sacramento, CA to get the fabric removed and replaced. I'll install/deinstall the headliner once done. I have both ti's to do. When I do the 95, I'll address my sunroof operation. __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

My new headliner is sagging again. __________________ 2000 M5 -> 1996 318ti -> 1997 328i Instagram: ndrewchow YouTube: MINIzguy | | | 08-28-2014, 06:05 PM | #207 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Hey Andrew! Ya I had heard that. Also the headliner backing needs to be very dry and clean before applying the adhesive. I have 2 spare headliners I will do at the same time in advance to save time and effort. The third is for the Cali and I have a spare to do in advance as well. 1998 & 1997 318ti Sport Schwartz II 1995 318ti Active Alpineweib III __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

NOW! | | | 08-29-2014, 09:41 PM | #208 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2014 Location: Independence Oregon Posts: 29 | My new-to-me '97 Cali has a black fabric headliner that is sagging. Doesn't seem to be like the foam-backed fabric that sagged on my old '93 525it - that stuff was horrible and couldn't really be effectively re-stuck. This seems to be more like the old "mouse-fur" headliner cloth of early VW bug days. Will be moving the car from misty moisty Oregon down to SoCal soon, so will probably wait to attempt any headliner repairs in hopes that it will stay stuck better down south. | | | 11-02-2017, 11:55 AM | #209 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | I just found a guy who has been doing headliner repairs for 30 years driving around on his van with a sign "Headliner repair" $69. I called the guy and told him I already have the headliner off the car and will bring it to him. He said, no problem, pay me $40. Finally got the headliner on my 1998 done for $40. Amazing guy. I will post a pic later. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 11-02-2017, 07:39 PM | #210 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | $40 headliner from a mobile headliner repair guy.. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
