03-06 Crew Cab Gmc Chevy Headliner removal and replacement PART 1

[@micah6872]

Young man, your daughter is absolutely precious. May God bless you.

[@Zacpactv]

Thank you, I realized halfway through the video that i maybe bit off more than i could chew keeping an eye on her 😅. she stuck it out with me though.

[@micah6872]

Just being with her is well worth the extra time it took. Really quick, were you able to find out a link or something for the tool you used to remove the plastic pins at the rear of the headliner? Thanks in advance.

[@Zacpactv]

@@micah6872 Agreed! they are panel clip pliers! here is the exact link. www.harborfreight.com/panel-clip-pliers-63699.html

[@issajetwithacee93]

Your little assistant helped very much! Thanks for the information

[@Zacpactv]

thank you 😀

[@craigjones1469]

Great video I feel like 90% of the time I spend in my shop is also asking my kids “did you just drink that?” Also “don’t put that in your mouth it’s yucky”

[@Zacpactv]

💯 😀

[@DiegoRamirez-lj5yz]

She said “that’s a flun sour” 😂😂 adorable little one man haha

[@Zacpactv]

I tried to find find that part but couldn’t 😅

[@davidemerson6292]

About to do the headliner on my 06 extended cab. Thanks for such a comprehensive video and actually showing all the tear-down. Way better than the other vids, and cute kiddo lol

[@Zacpactv]

Hey thanks for input, glad it helped!

[@lesb.3872]

Thank you!! Very helpful! Great Lil helper too, you couldn't have done it w out her help!! ❤😅 thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 😊!!! Great job!!

[@Zacpactv]

Thank you thank you! SHE IS THE BEST OF HELP 😁

The item you're looking at around the 9:00 mark is a temp sensor for the automatic climate control. Nice video, I'm planning to redo mine in a different color and was curious how to go about actually removing the headliner from a crew cab since the B pillar is in the way. I've heard people say you can just fold it in half and take it out, it'll crease the board if you do it that way but you won't see it in the fabric. Not sure if there's any truth to that, but wanted to check it out before trying it. I do plan on replacing my carpet too though, so I'll have pretty much my entire interior removed, should make it a good bit easier.

[@TheUpholstery1]

I've always hoped of a easier way to remove the wire harness. After 44 years of having a upholstery shop. I've found it's best to just pull the wire free from the back of the shell, it might take 3 min.

[@Zacpactv]

I considered it!! Do you reattach it or just sit it on top?

[@TheUpholstery1]

just lay it in place on top of the shell and it will be fine @@Zacpactv

[@youngndup]

just bought my first truck so thank you.

[@Zacpactv]

I have used $8.00 wool blankets from walmart before with same process. All depends on the route ur going. THE OLD FOAM MUST BE REMOVED!

[@ynot8u2]

Im here just to see if there was a trick to get out without removing the seats. But once the a,b,c pillars are pulled I was able to get a on the back side. Slide headliner forward and there is a notch that you can place those on the back side as well. As for the wire figured it was a 19 yr old truck so just pulled it away from glue. Enjoy those yrs with the little ones they go by so quick

[@Zacpactv]

@@ynot8u2 Sounds like you got it! pulling it way from the glue is fine too! I ended up folding mine slightly to get it out. Some fold and some take the seat out to avoid a crease. Mine didn’t show a crease from folding. I took mine out the rear door as well helps. The seat is heavy fyi and requires big strength and two people. The seals and trim can get torn very easy.

[@J-dizzle2021]

I'm in the middle of doing mine and figured I would see if I could find anything to possibly save me a few minutes or any hassle. Thanks for the video, my friend. Also, that microphone is for On Star.

[@Zacpactv]

No problem! And remember if you have an issue where the fiber glass is pealing back like I had glue it back together just like the you would the headliner! I have found that the microphone looking thing is an air temp sensor for automatic air!!

[@J-dizzle2021]

@Zacpactv interesting. Thanks for the reply. I'm subscribed, and I enjoyed your video. My youngest girl, who is now 16, would have been a handful to try that at 3. Awesome times to enjoy. They go fast.

[@afropick5934]

Best helper ever!

[@Zacpactv]

Glad to help! Look into mixing drywall mud with paint if looking for a high hide!

[@JHKCF]

You didn’t show the part I was most interested in. How did you get it out of the truck?

[@Zacpactv]

@@JHKCF I took it out the back door with the seat still in. It helps to have a second set of hands to curve it and keep from creasing. the rear seat is a bear to get out even with two people. I sometimes leave the important things out, i’m working towards bettering myself when it comes to content.

[@JHKCF]

@@Zacpactv thanks for responding 😀

[@jewllake]

Your helper stole the show :) That little speaker thing is for the auto climate control. It reads the temp in the truck and uses it to control fan speed along with numerous other sensors.

[@Zacpactv]

Thanks good to know!

[@alfonsoalonzo3165]

Great video..but seats don't need to come out to remove/and reinstall..had back seats all down/front seats reclined back n gout it out angled through passenger door..great work overall 👍

[@Zacpactv]

its doable but you do risk creasing. Did you have two people?

[@candacefowler9696]

What are the metal clips called that are in the front plastic pieces by the windshield? Not the more square ones but the kinda cone looking ones?? Mine broke and I need new ones😂

[@Zacpactv]

I think you are talking about the pillar retainer clips? I have never seen those broke but the plastic on the other end messed up 😬. I read where the might be discontinued so a junk yard may be the best bet.

[@KeithBarginear-mk1pp]

Any idea what the wires go too that plug in behind the cluster ?

[@Zacpactv]

no clue what option that was for! Maybe the deluxe options 😬

[@javikg7629]

Appreciate it brotha

[@Zacpactv]

Thanks I have 2nd vid up on install.

[@shannonroberson9370]

looking for part 2 of this video so my daughter and I can do it. where can i find it?

[@Zacpactv]

Part two is up sorry for delay!

[@Zminero]

It’s the cabin temp sensor for the automatic ac

[@Zacpactv]

good info thanks!

[@johnsmith6368]

I paid $250.00 to have mine done. Worth every penny.

[@Zacpactv]

Could you share if that was recent? That is not a bad price the glue has went up since my install.

[@johnsmith6368]

@@Zacpactv Yes it was about 6 or 7 weeks ago. Had it done in Baldwin Il.. Two young woman have a shop there. My girlfriend took it in for me and waited while they did it. I think it took them about 5 hours.

[@johnsmith6368]

@@Zacpactv I even have the same year and make of your truck.

[@Zacpactv]

definitely worth the money and would be something for others to looks into. especially if materials alone are well over 100.00

[@cameronloeffel8099]

Did you ever plug the plug behind the cluster back in?

[@Zacpactv]

yes, from what i remember i had to remove cluster.

[@BULLSEYEORDENY]

You didn't show but what door did you have to use to get out and back in the truck

[@Zacpactv]

the proper way to to take it out is through the rear door and seat removed! I state that in the video i believe but don’t hold me to it!!!

[@Zacpactv]

You will crease the fiberglass shell if trying bend it. mines a work truck and didn’t really care. It was better then dried glue dust blasting me in the eyes 😂

[@maeve4686]

Convinced me. I'm taking my '06 GMC to an upholsterer. I don't want nothing to do with this. DAD TIP..get that kid some toys & put her in the bed...

[@christopherhamilton4373]

That can of headliner adhesive is $31 now😂. Things getting in bc out of hand

[@Zacpactv]

i saw that makes me angry!!! i use to be able to get it off the shelf for 12 and change!

[@davidgallardo1534]

Also looking for part 2…

[@Zacpactv]

part 2 is up!
