Default Sapphire headliner removal

out through the boot, but do you need to remove any seats, or can i get away with winding the front seats as flat as possible?

You cab get away with winding the seats down. It's still a tight squeezes to get out the boot though.

A fiddley job to say in the least, once you've had the lining recovered make sure you have a box of surgical gloves handy to refit it, stops the freshly covered lining from getting filthy

Id rather take it thought the back door than try and squeeze it through the hole to the boot that is smaller than the back door,

Drivers seat layed flat passenger rammed forward and and wind forward against the dash and there plenty of room to get the right angle to get it out throught the passenger read door, thats how I did it and a pal did it with his new head lining...

If you use some KY Jelly, it will slide in the backdoor no problem.
Some people like to get help from a mate, but i prefer to go it alone and take my time.
