[@bobjohnson205]

On the Volvo Owners' Club UK website the information on headliner replacement recommends removing both of the front seats AND the center console on the sedan. On the wagon it can be removed out the rear hatch. To make the job even easier on a sedan they recommend removing the windshield, NOT the rear window. Their reasoning: "Because a rear window is more costly than a front windshield and is held in place by tough urethane adhesives (and your sandblasted front windshield may need to be replaced anyway), consider removing the front glass instead." I hope this info will help any future DIYer's.

Don't forget the little clip rear and center that helps hold the headliner up! Its a huge struggle doing this on a 4 door sedan/saloon. Trick is yanking the front seats, console, and rear butt cushion out. And the weather stripping/door gasket for the door its coming out. Then they come out as a 1-piece. Good job getting it done and improving the ambiance of the interior :-)

[@andrewstones2921]

You did remarkably well, this is not a job I would have tacked alone. If I had done it though I think I would have planned to take it out in 2 pieces, and I would have used grey headlining as it’s much more forgiving. Watching you trying to take it out in one piece was painful, reminded me of dirk gently and the sofa ( the book, not the dodgy tv series)

[@furiousdriving]

The book was much better! Id seen a video of one coming out intact but he didnt say how it was done!

[@pontushaggstrom6261]

3:24 that's good ol volvo plastic for ya, broke some plastic parts when i tried to get my door panels off. Gotta be careful :p Too bad your roof it broke, though it it possible to get it out. I swapped out the headliner as well on my 1987 gle, When i tried to to it through the back doors it didn't work at all, though i managed to get it out through the front passenger door with the seat removed and with the headliner pretty much intact (i did damage an old rotten corner). I repaired that using some building/construction type glue, gaffa tape and a piece of masonite together with a bunch of textile glue when i put on my fabric. It sure is a nice upgrade and really makes the driving experience so much nicer when 40 year old headliner dust isn't pouring down on you! Feels like a brand new car, doesn't it?

[@BergarnXd]

I removed the ceiling of my 740 through the back door (with roof hatch) only if you are 2 and have unmounted the chairs and the centerconsole its easy ✌️

[@georgehuser4711]

You did a great job I must say. Reupholstering the headliner is the worst job ever. I will have to do this too. But sadly I have a huge headliner in my mk. A Frontera so it's going to be absolutely scary and hard to do. Wish it would ended up the same way.

[@furiousdriving]

To be honest the actual covering part was easy, its the plastic trim thats tricky. With a big back door you should be OK getting it out

[@midlifecrisis.2409]

Fiddly old job! I did the same on a Saab 9000 CD (booted version) a few years back. After a fight it came out through a doorway although I forget which one. It's hard to refit it without making finger dents, best solution i could think of was to wrap white cotton rags around my hands. A sunroof makes it even more flimsy, never again!

[@Smiddy0700]

Im glad you did this, i have a 740 too with the same problem,. I also have a problem with the radiator seal and the sensor for it, any recommendations?

[@furiousdriving]

If you mean the hose seal to the rad, probably replace the hoses and clips-the rubber will perish over the years and start to leak on any car

[@fredrikjacobsson25]

The hard way to get the headliner out is when the front and backseats are in the car. Its better to tack all seats out and on a righht hand stearing car you can take the headliner out from the right rear dorr. Oposit on a left hand steering car. but it looks good at the end good work mate

[@NickMyers1]

Exactly what I was going to say. The actual trick to doing this, is taking all seats, and the console. Remove the body side door gasket for the door it's coming out of, and pull it out. Done this on quite a few cars - actually. Its a pain in the ...job. There's some guys at a local "flea market" who will do any sedan for $150 US. Gray, Beige, or Black - choose what you want. $125 for SUV/CUV/Minivan (anything with a rear hatch). Anyways great job getting it out, and laying down some much better looking headlining material. That foam dust drove me CRAZY in my 87 Ford Taurus wagon. The car was so much nicer once It was replaced.
