How to clean the headliner of a car

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

If the headliner of our vehicle is light-colored and very dirty, there is a possibility to clean it. As the YouTuber advises, the first thing to do is to clean the plastic parts of the pillars. The reason is simple: if we only clean the headliner, we risk bringing along the dirt from the pillars, which are definitely not clean. To clean the plastics, a neutral cleaner will suffice; nothing aggressive. As for the fabric part of the headliner, we spray with a product suitable for cleaning carpets or rugs, using a large sponge, but not directly on the headliner to avoid staining it. We rub gently: this is a very delicate area, and using too much force would be a mistake. The last step is to use a damp cloth that has been well wrung out. Let it dry thoroughly in the air.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
