Installing the headlining: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When replacing the headlining, holes must be cut out for the handle. Measure up the location of the holes on the old headlining. First make a small cut if possible. When the headlining is positioned over the two wire ends, cut them off to the same dimensions. Cut away as little as possible.

NOTE: Secure the cable harness, the connectors and the hoses using tape to prevent noise.

NOTE: Do not bend or rumple the headlining.

Carefully remove the headlining through the front passenger door.

Connect the connectors. Secure using tape on the inside of the headlining.

Ultrasonic sensor: install the casing. Press the sensor into position.

Install the headlining on the B-post lugs.

Install the two clips and casing for the high level stop lamps.

Install the door trim strips for the front and rear side doors at the top edge.

NOTE: If the car is equipped with a sliding sunroof, the moldings around the roof opening and the connector must be installed.
