Removal And Installation: Headliner: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: These steps are only necessary when installing a new component.

NOTE: When transferring the headliner harness to a new headliner note the location of each electrical connector during removal and maintain those locations when transferring the harness. If equipped with noise cancellation the microphone connectors are the same but are not interchangeable and must maintain their original locations for the system to operate correctly.

NOTE: Obtain the specified adhesive commercially. Depending on the headliner and optional wire harness(es), the purchase of multiple tubes is suggested.
1. Using tape, mark the wire at the exit points for proper length from headliner-to-body/ roof connectors.
2. Carefully remove the wire harness from the original headliner.
3. Using a marking tool, mark the new headliner with the routing and exit points of the wire harness from the original headliner.
4. NOTE: Make sure not to damage the wire harness when cutting the excess adhesive from the wire harness.
  
  Cut and remove any excess adhesive from the wire harness.
5. Position the wire harness onto the new headliner, making sure the harness has enough length to be connected to the body/ roof connectors at the tape location(s) applied earlier. Apply tape to temporarily hold the wire harness in position on the headliner.
6. Apply the adhesive in the same location as the factory installed adhesive along the full length of the wire harness-to-headliner to avoid any NVH concern(s).
  Material: 3M™ Super-Fast Repair Adhesive / 04747
NOTE: For vehicles equipped with noise cancellation microphones, the brackets must be glued flush to the new headliner and a bead of glue placed around the bracket to ensure proper sealing and correct system operation.

NOTE: Transfer parts as necessary.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
