How to Replace the Headlining on the Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the headlining on the Volkswagen Golf, first detach all the trim pieces along the door pillars and the rear window: then proceed to remove all obstructing pieces, including the sun visors, handles, and the interior rear-view mirror. At this point, you can completely detach the headlining and pull it out of the cabin through the rear hatch. This will allow you to insert the new headlining, which should be properly glued, and then reassemble the pillars and previously removed components.
