Removing the headliner panel on a BMW 3 Series? In this video, we'll show you how to remove the piece. Remove the covers from the side pillars in the car, take off the side handles of the headliner with a screwdriver, then remove the sun visors and the overhead lighting assembly from the panel.

Disconnect the mounting clips around the perimeter of the panel. Once the panel is free, you can pull it out of the car. Be careful when removing it, as it may break.

Install the new cover panel: attach the clips, reinstall the plastics, sun visors, and lights. Insert the panel from the trunk or door side.
