Disconnect connector "1" and unscrew the two "arrow" screws (in cars with a ceiling console these screws have already been removed). Detach the headliner panel in the area of the overhead console. In this case, the brackets for fastening the console, breaking in the designated places, remain in the sockets on the body. Lower the headliner panel below the level of the mirror and pull it out from under the C-pillar trims in the direction of vehicle movement.



With the help of a second mechanic, remove headlining panel "1" through the luggage compartment opening (the panel should be slightly skewed).
