i need access to the inner roof panel to remove an orange service vehicle beacon and weld up the holes...

how do i remove the headliner without breaking it or causing the material to fall off? its in very good condition right now and id hate to wreck a good thing. i cant find any directions in either Chiltons or the other manual..

 

How about telling us what you drive?

do you need what engine and transmission thats in it too?

 

This is a quad cab, but it should be quite similar.

 

You might find some plugs to fill the holes. Unless you're restoring it, then weld them closed before you paint it. I bought an old Crown Vic police car once and plugged most of the holes but I put a CB antenna on the trunk lid. Nobody ever tail gated or cut me off in traffic after that. It's a mystery.

 

A friend bought a retired California Highway Patrol Mustang LX once, he always had plenty of room. Even after he painted it... I'm sure it must have been the hubcaps
