Default Removing headlining

Hi all, does all the glass need to come out if you want to remove/change the headlining? I need to pull mine down but don't know if I should wait until I respray the car as the glass will come out then but that's many many moons away yet and just want to sound deaden the roof and possible change the roof lining

Thanks for any help!

Yes as the rear screen is part of the tailgate

Just pull off the door seals as from memory the roof lining tucks up under all the seals...remove b and c pillars and anything connected to the roof

If your seals are no good just cut them if you're worried about breaking the glass
Rear seals are hard to find replacements for

Na I had to source a good one... seals only need a inch cut in them and just rip them right round from outside the car
