Did you find that article? or just wing it and start pulling bits off your car?

I need to do this too but Id prefer to do it with the walk through, I forgot to bookmark it and now am having trouble finding it.

Nah didnt find the article,once i started pulling the strips down it only took 15 mins.Give you the rundown if you like.The rear vision mirror plus under base,sunvisors come out,plus the clips for the sunvisors.The plastic strips running down the windscreen pillar clip off(just unclip the first 2 or 3 clips and leave them hanging).Take off the hooks above the seatbelts to reveal the screw that holds the t roof strip,peel off that and there is another screw at the front pillar.The strips along the back window just clips again,they dont need to come out much.And the rear strip is easy too just clips.The only one left is the strip along the windscreen,you shouldnt touch that one cause its siliconed to the glass.Just pull the lining board back about 10mm and it will come out.Then take the electrical connectors out off the front and middle lights.Angle round a bit and bring it out though the t roof.Once out the front light just clips out,the centre one screws out.Bobs yer uncle :lol: Pull the cloth off and get a half brush and sweep off the deteriorated foam from the board and cloth.Read the instructions on the can and thats it. :D Its really not hard.Feel free to ask more if you want but really once you get into it,its childs play. :geek:

Sounds good, the article i was reading...and lost :( Talked about removing all the platics in the boot and taking off the targa rubbers but his way dropped the board that the liners glues to so you can fix it out of the car.

Sorry i probably went too quick.Once all the plastic strips are off the board will be loose then you remove the electrical connectors to the interior lights, angle the board to remove it through the t roof(or quite possibly through the boot).I took the board totally out to work on it.The t roof has rubber strips yeah but only 2 screws to take off at either end of it,the strip has groves that push in to the surround.It really is easy once you get going with it.I was expecting it might of been a bit of a bi#ch to do, but it was a breeze.Allow yourself a couple of hours to clean up the board and cloth and glue to dry properly,(24 hrs for optimum bond)i left mine overnight on the shed floor and installed it back in the next day.Good luck :!:

If you're looking for the Permetex stuff you'll find it in the paint isle at Autobarn in a big orange spray can. Make sure to turn it upside down and clear the nozzle when you're finished using it.
