To replace the headlining in a Volkswagen Golf, you need to remove all components that obstruct the removal of the interior roof lining: you will need to take off the interior rear-view mirror, the handles, the door pillars, etc. Once the headlining is detached, you can open the rear hatch and extract the headlining; this will allow you to insert the new replacement part and secure it to the top of the roof.

Finally, you can reposition all the components that were removed earlier.
