Begin by entering the vehicle and start removing the various components. Remove the side handles of the headlining using a screwdriver, then take off the sun visors and the various lights fixed to the panel.

If the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, open it before removing the panel. Once everything is detached, pull the headlining panel away from the perimeter of the roof.

Extract the cover panel from inside the vehicle, preferably from the boot. Fit a new panel or reattach the same one after having it repaired.
