Rear cabin roof liner

Post by flybobbie » Sun Feb 08, 2015 8:51 am

Does anyone know how this comes off.
Does it use the usual push on fittings.
Need to remove as i am sure there is something loose that starts tapping when I drive over a rough road.
Also I have now put dirty finger marks on it.
What an awful surface material to try and clean.

I keep meaning to get this tool myself as I'd like to remove the liners to check the roof dampers concealed within, in summer the rear clamshell wobbles a bit around the midpoint and I'm fairly sure there are dampers underneath which might need adjustment.

I just pulled these panels off on my old Z4. Start with the front one then the back.

I just don't know what the connectors look like and I'd hate to pull and damage something, like a connector snaps and I end up with more rattles.

I was hoping just to pull off a few near the forward edge and peer behind to see what goes on.
