To replace the headlining on a Volkswagen Polo, unscrew the screws securing all the obstructing elements, such as the side handles, sun visors, interior rear-view mirror, etc. Once the interior lights are also removed, detach the plastic covers from the door pillars to completely free the headlining.

Now, the headlining can be extracted from inside the cabin by opening the rear hatch and sliding the piece out: this will allow you to insert the new piece and secure it properly.
