MK6 GTI Starlight Headliner Pt. 3: Installation

[@Fa5_kev]

I definitely want to try this great job with the install

[@isaiahwood1801]

Looks super sick man! I like the placements you did a lot it was smart to section it off I was thinking about doing this to my 2013 gti but I was wondering if there was any adhesive or anything like that holding the headliner up? or just all the trim stuff you removed? I just don't want my headliner to sag or anything after I install them, also you put the light box in the carpet near like the 12v plug? and does the remote work from everywhere in the car or do you have to point it somewhere? Sorry that's hella questions, just wanna make my install clean like yours! Ty!

[@markvi_gti]

The fabric on the headliner is on with adhesive so it won’t sag when you get the trim pieces off. Yes I put the light box by the 12v plug in the back. The remote works everywhere you don’t have to point at the box, they have an updated version with Bluetooth now so you can use your phone to control the lights.

I already started mine but I still wanted to ask the question. I started from the back going to the front, do you think it really matters which way? I haven’t started gluing bc I don’t know how much rope I need for my box. Got a mk6 golf, basically the exact same as yours

[@markvi_gti]

Doesnt matter which way you start, just make sure you have enough to reach the box maybe like 16-24 inches

What's the name of the tool for cutting the lights flush please? Thanks for the videos!!

[@markvi_gti]

End cutting plier, I got it from Lowe’s

[@abdussamee3818]

Did u connect it to the 12v in the boot?

[@pavelwolf9644]

Thx for the video, definitely liked it !! :-D I´m definitely going to try this project too, but I have two questions about it :-D Can you see the holes in the headliner or strands of this optic fiber themself when it is day ? And next one is, what type of material is your headliner made of ? :-D is it from the inside rather softer and foamy or hard ? :-D I have a VW passat B5 and I don´t want to ruin interior by ruining headliner :-D thx for answers ;-)

[@markvi_gti]

Since my headliner is black you can’t really see the holes. The strands blend in but you can still feel them if you run your hand across the headliner.

[@pavelwolf9644]

@@markvi_gti OK, thank you very much ;-)

[@geo7inbodydrop]

What starlight kit did u buy and where from?

[@themoneyshower24]

Is 450 enough to cover the whole hoodliner or should there be more or less of the optic fibers?

[@markvi_gti]

Depends how big the headliner is. 450 was a good amount for mine.

[@morahman6727]

Did u have to disconnect the battery for the airbags?

[@markvi_gti]

Didn’t have to disconnect the airbag but if you are then yes battery should be disconnected

[@baggedmk6]

[@stevelietzow]

[@iliasmagomedov9867]

Where did you hide the light machine?

[@markvi_gti]

Behind the carpet in the trunk

[@iliasmagomedov9867]

Thankyou i did the same with my golf 6

[@190Mastercraft]

What did you wire it to ?

[@markvi_gti]

I have a 12v cigarette lighter outlet in the back so I just plugged it in there
