Interior trim panels
Removal
1. The trim panels are attached either with screws or various plastic clips, latches, etc.
2. When removing a panel, check whether other trim elements covering it need to be removed. Often the sequence of panel removal becomes clear after inspection.
3. Remove all eye-accessible fasteners; the screws may be covered with plastic plugs. If the panel cannot be removed, it may be held in place by hidden plastic latches (called "bugs"). Such "bugs" are usually located around the perimeter of the panel, and can be released by carefully lifting them with a sharp screwdriver or something like a fork. "Bugs" often break easily, so it is recommended to stock up on new ones for replacement. In many cases, the panels can be removed by removing the sealing profiles.
4. When removing trim panels, NEVER use force - you may break the panel. Always make sure ALL fasteners are released before removing the panel.
Installation
5. Installation - reverse procedure. When installing the panels, fix the "bugs" by pressing them into the hole. To prevent the "rattle" effect, make sure that the panels are securely fastened.
Carpets
6. The carpet in the passenger compartment is cut in one piece, fastened at the edges with screws or "bugs", usually with the same fasteners as the adjacent upholstery panels.
7. Removing and installing carpeting is sometimes necessary, but extremely time-consuming, since there are many fasteners that need to be removed first. You will need to remove the seats, center console, lower seat belt anchors, etc.
Ceiling
8. The ceiling in the rear part of the roof is glued, additionally secured with upper handles, visors, hatch frame, pillar trims, door seals, etc. After removing all these parts, the ceiling can be removed from the passenger compartment through the fifth door.
9. Please note that removing the ceiling requires a certain amount of experience and patience in order not to damage its panel during removal, so it is better to entrust this operation to a specialist.
