In this guide, we will see the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the headliner or the interior lining of the roof of the Mini Cooper. First, we climb aboard the cockpit and start removing all the components fixed on the headliner; we then remove the sun visors, the rearview mirror, the grab handles, the interior lights, and the plastic side pillars, unscrewing the fixing screws, as shown in the video.

At this point, we open the rear hatch of the trunk and start detaching and removing the headliner on the sides, then replacing it.
