How to Remove the Headliner on a Silverado

A Silverado headliner consists of a hardboard, material lining and a thin pad. You might think that removing the headliner from a silverado is a lot of work; however, it is actually quite simple with the proper tools and know how.

Things to have on hand:

• Screwdriver


• Ziploc bag

1. Look for the dome lights close to the rear window of the vehicle.


2. Locate a small cut out in the plastic lens on the light.


3. Put the screwdriver into the hole and remove the lens from the silver bezel.


4. Remove the screws that are in place holding the dome light to the headliner of the vehicle.


5. Remove the light from the headliner.


6. Unplug the wiring harness to the light.


7. Look at the sunvisor and locate the screws.


8. Remove the screws that are holding the sunvisor to the headliner using your screwdriver.


9. Remove the sunvisor and repeat the same process on the other sunvisor to remove it.


10. Remove the screws that hold the side trip panels to the inner roof panel with your screwdriver. Repeat this step on the other side as well so that all side trip panels are removed.


11. Place all the screws you have removed into the plastic bag for safe storing.


12. Place your hand on the headliner to keep it from falling on you. Once the side trip panels are removed the headliner will start to fall.


13. Grab the headliner as it becomes looser and starts to fall.


14. Remove the headliner from the vehicle.
