To replace the headlining in a Mercedes SLK, partially lift the hood by pressing the button located on the centre console. Once the hood is raised, loosen the screws that secure it to the side of its housing.

By also detaching the internal clips, you can completely remove it from its housing to insert a new one. After installation, secure it with the corresponding screws and clips, then lower the hood of the car again.
