Removing Headliner Panel on BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Checks and maintenance

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.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
