E90 BMW 325i - Headliner Removal

I recently put a suede headliner in a 2006 BMW 325i. In this video I wanted to take some time to show you all the steps involved to remove the headliner. You have to remove a lot of the interior parts. Including the seats! But don't worry If I can do it, you can too!

The manual actually calls for two people removing the headlining out, on sedans it is done through rear door, on tourings (E91) it goes out through the trunk, both persons holding it slightly folded in U-shape. You got everything right and even managed it solo.

[@seasonedtoker]

Oh, it only takes 20 minutes, I thought I would spend the whole day! Great vid, thanks

[@E90Madi]

Hour long process for me, now onto getting my sunroof out to wrap that suede too🎉. Thank you great video, I also only took one of my back door panels off/ headrests and the front seats all the way leaned back and tilted back. Glad I didn’t have to take the front seats out.. came out the back door

[@trade1713]

Unbelievable the details on this video!
Thank you so much!
Wishing you all success in business and life!

[@Theluckyneedle]

Thanks you so much! Happy the video helped!

[@destroyer101k5]

Yo! Thank you for this video! 4 years later and it helped out my dad and I to reupholster the headliner. We did not remove the front seats or the panels. We were able to wiggle it in the same rear driver door. Installation was the same way!! Thank you!

[@artimendheim3645]

Wow, great video. I tried to find something in German, but this one is the very very best!

[@ronniemcdole2849]

Best R & I video I’ve seen! Excellent

[@7beast298]

Dude you absolutely rock!! I have watched every one of these videos from disassembly to finish and you are very informative! Big ups from Houston Tejas 👏 👌 🙌 💪

[@stradaredlands]

Thanks for posting this, it's perfect! FYI I was able to pull an E90 headliner out through the front passenger door after moving the seats back as far as possible and reclining them all the way back. I was ready to pull the door off if I had to, but the headliner came out no problem.

[@Shas4Ever]

Nice, clean and detailed video.

[@SFDCorama]

THANK YOU! I used this video (along with others in the seriews) to replace the right reat seatbelt in my E90. It was GREAT.

[@Theluckyneedle]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@cirotorres9666]

This guys makes it simple and easy to follow along

[@Theluckyneedle]

Thanks!!

[@turbob84]

One of best videos around and only 200 some likes. This is crazy.

[@Theluckyneedle]

Thanks Kevin

[@onecookieboy]

Well done, I enjoyed your commentary and found it very clear, honest and informative.

[@MustafaKhan-ph5hl]

Thank you for all this info . Will be putting it good use on my headliner

[@Eazykilldavis]

Thank you, you done a great job explaining everything. You helped me a lot.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

Bro, I give you credit, THANK YOU!!

[@raduiacob1498]

Thank you for the video! It was very useful! We want more video with bmw e90! Good wishes from Romania 🇷🇴

[@GOGOCED]

Thank you for sharing this video. Great lighting, angles, and production

[@peterolley7159]

I wonder if I could get the liner out through the boot as I have a touring e91

[@neu1113]

Thanks for showing this video. I had different ways of popping off some of the clips but this this kind of given me some ideas on how to do some of the other areas. Grateful for the video.

[@johndahlbeck7573]

really well done. very much appreciated

[@SG-zr3rz]

Hi!
This Toutorial was very helpfull to me :) Thanks to You i know what to do next. It took me 2,5 hour to replace headliner from standard to black m-sport. I don't know if this will be good tip, but you can easly remove and put headliner by rear passanger door. It goes very smooth then. I noticed that when you remove shift knob, the headliner have much more space to get out from the interior. Thank You and all the best! [BMW e90 2011 LCI, 4-doors, sedan, no rooftop]

[@Theluckyneedle]

Thanks SG!

[@louiejr03]

Este es el.mejor video que he vizto para instalacion de idrive system....

[@moherowy13]

This is gonna be extremely useful. Thanks!

[@stanleygrant2871]

You did very well I am a upholster and I work on these German cars and the roof liners are a pain to get out you have to flex the liner and bringing it though the back door is easier here in brabados the lining drop down often as it's hot here, Japanese cars are easier to work on, putting back in you have to flex it, but great Job and excellent video as always

[@Theluckyneedle]

Thanks! Yeah its a tight fit getting that board out!
The rest of the videos on recovering the headliner and sun visors in suede will be out in a week or two. I did these videos separate so that the headliner video didn't end up being crazy long. I hope you guys like them!

[@edhernandez4344]

Do you think it'd be possible to take the headliner out through the trunk by bending the back seats down?

[@denisabaracu4386]

You’re the best!

[@boxingproff7627]

To remove anything on a BMW you need to acquire the blue prints to the car. Then, you need to hire 3 German engineers. And buy the latest equipment. It's no Bueno.

[@S4Fireblade1]

Thanks for the video!

[@spanglishangler]

Nice video with great information. My BMW is leaking inside from the sunroof I am guessing and gravity is making it leak to the back pillars. So I am guessing the rear drains are clog. Are you able to see this drain lines/ tubes without taking the front portion? Thanks in advance for your time.

[@manoloserna697]

Excelente video, Muy bien explicado gracias!

[@pauldube9455]

Thank you for this!

[@mikechan231]

So grateful for this video. Thanks!

[@elkarim9929]

I did remove it with both seats inside through the back.. i did recline both seats flat though ..

[@panthers865]

Hey, appreciate the video. I took off the entire window stripping. Does anyone have any pointers on how to reinstall? I can’t seem to get it to line back up, which makes no sense, given the tubing already made it on once. Thank you.

[@edwinw.kelsey6638]

This is reality. Thank you. Guess I won't do this job myself.

[@autocanuckduck7503]

Great video, thanks!

[@stanleygrant2871]

I meant here in Barbados but I have found ways of removing it with out removing the seats but seat removal is easier but keep the excellent videos up next do a video on door panel inserts as in replace the worn leather or fabric

[@Theluckyneedle]

Thanks! I will film that next time I do one

[@GOGOCED]

I have heard you can out the driver Seay forward and the passenger seat all the way back and you should be able to get the headliner in/out

[@ChristianBiggins]

Tutorial video done perfectly. Thanks!

You have to remove the center console and passenger side front door

[@mkgaming2192]

Any idea on a 2015 535i removal?

[@MotoNCorps]

Some people take off the front windshield to replace the headliner

[@christopherestay2483]

Dude, this video is great. Thanks alot! Do you by any chance have any tips on the sunroof drains? Mi rains see to be clogged and its been raining where i live so my headliner, drivers side gets wet (visor area) and A pilar. Last night we had a lot of rain so even the floor mat got wet (im guessing water was dripping from visor onto floor). I would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advanced!

[@zulfananim6084]

Thank you soo much for your video😊👍

[@Theluckyneedle]

Happy it helped!

[@pgdmed]

Would this be similar on the e60? I can’t find a video to remove the headliner.

[@jorgesomozaferrales8187]

Nice men!! Thanks!

[@ravigortale7080]

Keep it up

[@Blameuno666]

I don’t know why I gave you so much trouble. I got it out the back door without barely bending it at all, but I know somethings could be harder for other people. People usually make it look easy and videos and then for me ends up being a pain in the ass.

[@bentnickel7487]

Had the adhesive degraded in this 12 y/o BMW or was suede an upgrade? I'm asking if it NEEDED to be fixed or did the owner just want a fresh look?

[@Theluckyneedle]

The foam under the headliner was starting to fall apart.

[@Shifr3003]

My man!

Sometimes I wish these videos would have a timer in the corner so I can see how log it took.

[@tsepanglebata5550]

Thanks bro.

[@timtalsma1800]

What year is this model?

[@85krash]

that was very helpful in removing the headliner. it looks like a pain in the butt. I wonder how much i'll be charged to have someone do this for me.

[@jenicioadame915]

What’s the labor hours on this?

[@TheHamadanners]

Sweet

[@SHOzFST]

How much would you charge to replace the headliner? Just curious if the quotes I'm getting are competitive.

[@Theluckyneedle]

To replace the headliner or just recover the headliner?

[@randylouw2857]

I took mine out with seats in place

[@cdub3799]

how much fabric/material is needed to re-do the headliner?

[@Theluckyneedle]

4 yards

[@ravigortale7080]

I don't have any words dud

[@skillz1855]

Front windshield removal is easy and you don't fold the liner

[@rook4516]

“Beat em off”😂

hahaha

[@justsayin4632]

@@gwapo3927 Lol not sure why he contradicts himself at 2:00. I do this professionally and I’m well aware you don’t have to remove the seats on this particular model.

[@gwapo3927]

@@justsayin4632 i watched this video and couldn’t remove the seats because i was taken them off a junkyard card and managed to get it out without removing the seats and he probably couldn’t figure out the angle most likely why he said it’s best to take them out makes it easier

[@itoto4294]

which door did you go through and what angle? my headliner is sagging and im going to put new glue and fabric. Thank you in advance

[@chasekennings2169]

So basically take the car completely apart

[@Theluckyneedle]

Haha! Well the engine and tires can stay but yeah most of the interior has to come out.

[@TowProVlogs]

I feel like theres a quicker way to do this lol

[@kalumbabwale3729]

Feel... key word

[@eknight101]

Ugghhhh...I think I'll just pay somebody to do mine. 😏

[@Xanadu98]

Where at?

[@eknight101]

@@Xanadu98 Orlando, Florida. there are plenty of businesses that specialize in vehicle upholstery and sunroof repair. although, for my beamer it might cost a few hundred in labor just based on the complexity of what I'm seeing in this video.

[@kornelijekovac9793]

Wow, all this for a roof. Lucky you didn't have to pull out the engine.... Stupid car designers.

[@Santoki30004]

😂😂 :50

[@Theluckyneedle]

Haha glad you found that funny!

[@dbanga5]

All of that just to take out headliner? wtf I'm really starting to hate this car and now I understand why people charge so much to fix things you have to take a bunch of stuff apart to get to something simple smh

[@mikespratt8350]

The seatbelt covers are not as easy as he makes it look. He must have broke them prior to the video. Because mine have a death grip and i have already broke one. He needs to be more discriptive on how its held in and the direction it should be pulled.

[@Theluckyneedle]

I did not brake any part during this project. If I did I would have also shown how to repair that as well.
Plastic trim parts are fragile and you need to be careful when removing them.

[@guy539]

Yo don’t have to remove the seats

[@MeetPatel-ed3en]

Na dude there is a better easier and faster way . you are doing too much

Please elaborate....
