Default roof liner & pillar trims

Does anyone know how to remove the roof lining & pillar trims ?

Appreciate any guidance anyone can offer. Have trawled the net looking for someone who may have done this or posted pics from the repair manual, but to no avail.

Thanks

That's an interesting mix of A8s you've got there - you must like blue a lot!!
Try ringing our forum sponsors A8 parts as they can give good advice in this they are doing it regularly - details at the header at the top of the page.

Love the old S8 - the Nogaro Blue looks unusual but (I think) stunning. Unfortunately it's suffering from the well documented gearbox ailment, but I just couldn't bring myself to get rid of it.......Just waiting for the time to strip the gearbox

I've ended up with 2 D3s cause I 'injured' one of them and needed a 'donor' car to cobble together one good one. Most folk would say I'm mad and should just have cut my losses and moved on, but hey love my A8s !!

I need to release/remove the roof lining at the front end to enable the fitting/wiring of the solar sunroof, so if you have now got the info from A8 Parts on doing this it would be great if you could post it up.
