My 1996 Tacoma is almost the same process. glued under the seals and metal rods stopping it from drooping. Thanks for this demo!

[@retro_88yota]

I learned the hard way about toyota pickup headliners once you remove them they are virtually impossible to reinstall.

[@6thGearGarage]

Yeah it's a PITA to install... lining up the rods in the holes and then gluing all those seams takes a lot of patience.

[@michaelkieran3006]

Can you purchase new vinyl liner kit

[@JoelzombieThomas]

I am extremely happy to see this tutorial on disassembling the headliner from the cab, and the other ones like it. Nobody else is demonstrating this, and it's needed and appreciated. Just need to find myself a replacement headliner now.

[@royberger1558]

Thanks for posting this.

[@tokyg795]

Thank you

[@BraddaMarlon]

I have an aprox 8x8 section right around the driver grab handle where the headliner is sagging a bit. Could I just pull down the head liner there a bit and spray some adhesive and have it stick? Or am I better leaving it be?

[@6thGearGarage]

It's held up by the tension where it attaches to the metal rods. So I wonder if it's tearing away from the rod? It's not really glued to any surface besides the very edge around the door and rear window/windshield openings, so there's nowhere for it to adhere to except for around the edges.

[@BraddaMarlon]

@@6thGearGarage thank you for replying so I'll just leave it be for now

[@franckyclivensbaptiste4030]

I really appreciate ur work.

[@Brooklyn_Powers]

Just the video I needed: Thank you!

[@kylebowling3042]

Any idea what the part number is of the gray push clip is? I have damaged a few pulling them out.

[@6thGearGarage]

I’m not sure what it is

[@gmartinezfuster]

Would you sell the rear window setup?

[@6thGearGarage]

Gerardo Martinez yeah but shipping is going to be killer. Also I need to find a huge box for it.

[@ericfayton5865]

I see you have a 1pc front bumper. Are you selling the brackets? My truck originally has a 3pc bumper. When I bought the 1pc bumper I didn't realize the bumper holes wouldn't match up with the brackets. I'm having a hard time finding the correct brackets

[@6thGearGarage]

I'll have to see how rusty they are. Also I think Toyota changed the design of the brackets, in 86 or 87 maybe?

[@ericfayton5865]

Hopefully they are in good enough shape to use. Are you located in Washington State?

[@6thGearGarage]

@@ericfayton5865 I'm in Ohio

[@RubenAguirreF]

Is that bench seat original for that year or is it from a different truck? I’m looking for one with the flip down center console like that but can’t find one.

[@6thGearGarage]

I believe it was original to the truck. it was a 87 bare bones 2wd 22r but the bench seat was nice.

[@JoelzombieThomas]

I didn't quite see the windshield edge detail, but sounds like it's wrapped just as the rear window is. Right?

[@6thGearGarage]

J. Thomas yes except you do not need to remove the glass, just the rubber trim strip along the top of the inside of the windshield.

[@blainevantine1634]

Does this also work for the 4Runner?

[@6thGearGarage]

Yes it does, except the the back edge will be different because the truck has a window there and the 4runner has a trim piece. The rest is identical.

[@jessekalahar417]

I have the moon roof what am I to expect when removing mine??

[@rickwatson7423]

How much do want for the front seats in that truck if you still got it?

[@6thGearGarage]

I do still have these... are you in Ohio? I have no way to ship them.

[@rickwatson7423]

@@6thGearGarage sorry I am from Ohio but moved to Louisiana been here for 30 years

@@6thGearGarage I really would like to get them but 1600 Miles is a long hike

[@rickwatson7423]

@@6thGearGarage find out how much it would cost to ship them a I will pay for it.

[@6thGearGarage]

@@rickwatson7423 If I found a large enough box, it would be gigantic and heavy, cost a fortune to ship.

[@schnawgalawg]

The headliner is already out on our truck, do we need to replace the insulation or am I good just getting a new headliner Edit: the insulation is out as well

[@6thGearGarage]

The insulation is there to help reduce road noise and maybe block some heat through the roof. You could leave it out.

[@ThisOldYota]

I think you should just restore the cab so we can get some instruction on repairing rusted areas and making patch panels then installing them

[@6thGearGarage]

This cab is pretty far gone. I might fix up another one though.

[@johnm8558]

What is the Name of the Special tool you are using to Remove the Plastic A Pillars? Thank you

[@6thGearGarage]

I believe they're called "panel poppers"

[@6thGearGarage]

I got a nice trim removal kit that has them, used it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKqkia2NhMScbNU The kit was about $20 on amazon and worth every penny.

[@johnm8558]

@@6thGearGarage There is No use of you using a A Pillar tool in the Video! You are removing a door panel! You must Not Know what the Plastic A Pillars!!!

[@johnm8558]

@@6thGearGarage The proper tool Looks like Scissors.. I just dont know the name of them.

[@6thGearGarage]

John M that video just shows the whole kit that contains the panel poppers. I only removed the door panel in that video. I removed the a pillar in this video. Hope that clears up any confusion

[@JoelzombieThomas]

I wonder if anyone has a grey single cab headliner they want to sell, mouse turds and all?

[@Samson-EC]

Very interesting. Good video. Appreciate it. You selling any parts by chance? 1986 pickup that is

[@6thGearGarage]

J C most of my rusty 1986 has been sold or scrapped but I have a few parts left... What are you looking for?

[@Samson-EC]

@@6thGearGarage I am looking for the clips that hold the registers/vents into the dash.

[@6thGearGarage]

@@Samson-EC The 4 metal clips on each vent?

[@Samson-EC]

Yep, I am missing three on a vent. Tuff to find just the clips

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks for sharing your video great job explaining things.

[@kiimberru]

Now how do I put it back

[@6thGearGarage]

Sorry don't have a video of that, but it is the opposite order of steps to remove it.

[@aaronbirkholz4997]

excellent videos, thank you!

Is there any place that sells OEM liner?

Would this be the same on a second gen?

I don't know, as I've only removed them on 84-88 trucks. If it has those 3 rods going across, then I bet it is probably the same.
