How to Remove the Headlining on a Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

Learn how to remove the headlining on a Mini Cooper: start by removing the side handles of the headlining with a screwdriver, then remove the sun visors and the overhead lighting unit located in the panel. If the car is equipped with a sunroof, open it before removing the panel. Once everything is removed (side panels of the pillars), detach the headlining panel around the roof perimeter of the car. When the panel is free from clips, you can pull it out of the vehicle. Be careful when pulling it out as it may break.
