How do I re-glue the headliner in a wagon (back half fell down)

Is it possible to undo the visor clips without damaging them? I have not managed to get them out intact and now have rattly visors.

I believe you can depress the clip from the side towards the windshield and wiggle it out without damage. At least I think that's how I got them out of my V70R when I did the headliner.

Thanks, here's another

So once you get all the trim away, does the liner backer just fall down?
What about those wires taped to the TOP of the backer?
Is this a 3 man job (wagon) to hold it up & gently lower it while someone gets the wires un-taped?

It's not all that tricky.

I never have any extra hands for when I do any work on our cars.

Same. It's totally doable with one person.

I lure in kids from the middle school with Candy into my VW Bus then bring them to help with Volvo repair

They finally made a video to warn young Jimmy about me and other Volvo repair guys

Always gotta watch out for the guy in the VW bus. If he's not luring kids with candy, he's selling them some "candy".

Even though I scraped the foam with a paint scraper, the temporary tape is not sticking. Sandpaper is ultra messy & its cold outside. Anybody use a solvent, like toluene, to melt & solidify the foam/glue ?

What are you using the temporary tape for? To hold the failed, old material up?
