S70 Headliner In 850 T5R Is That Possible :)

[maciekb2002]

This was my 5 hour project.

00 s70 awd headliner installed in my t5r.

I hated my original one it was dirty , started sagging .

Color of the visors wasn't pretty neither.

So you have to drop sun roof to replace glass cover .

That is pain , heavy piece.

Then After putting s70 headliner , You can notice that it is about 0.75 inches longer then 850 stuff.

And rear clips doesn't align.

There is little frame piece right where s70 clips mount.

I drilled two little holes in the roof frame and plastic clips.

Self tapping two screws and it is mounted solid.

Also to get rid of horrible look from behind I traced shape of the headliner and painted window from inside black after installing in my case 4th brake light.

Led is supper bright and I mounted it to roof and glass with 3m double side tape.

that fricking tape is amazing.

Also rear post covers had to be trimmed a little on top.

Rear speakers and shelf has to be removed to get plastic post covers off , don't try to get it out I broke one in two pieces

All the visors and handles were replaced with s70 parts to match color.

Looks 100% better..

I will also attach two little brackets to window to keep it slightly higher in the middle.

Wiring brake light was 5 sec.

If your windows are tinted their is really no need to trace, correct

Yes or using window from s70 will solve the problem too

Why didnt you just redo yours to grey... would have been about a 2 hour job. if that, I think I did mine in about 30 minutes.
