which headliner for sunroof bus and which vendor? MAMotorworks, I assume? just the vinyl dots, man. Leave it intact or have it removed when you get here?
(I can't believe I'm actually following up on this type of repair)
VWBRM, I will be doing the headliner on the Squareback in the next week, my very first. If I botch it beyond all recognition, we won't even think about yours.
If I don't botch it, you will need to remove visors, mirror, grab handles, interior lights, tailgate hinge covers, windshield, all stationary windows except the hatch and sliding door, all perimeter interior panels and rear seats, shoulder belt anchors, sliding section of sunroof. You will need billions of small clamps, several aerosol cans of heavy super adhesive, a couple or three cans of GumOut, a couple of modest little paintbrushes that will be ruined when we're done, a heat gun or hefty hair dryer, no rain and particularly no rain. You will have to be very self-initiating and plan on investing time holding vinyl to the pinchwelds around the window openings. You will need to be handy with scissors, we have to cut little v-notches to get the vinyl to walk around the window edges with no wrinkles. I am a nutcase perfectionist when it comes to perfect headliners.
