TCJB Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hello fellow TC owners! I recently bought a 2013 TC thats going to be used as a camper van, however there is a leak in the front and i cannot figure out where its coming from. Hence, I need to remove the front headliner. However I cannot find anything online for how to do this without breaking anything. Looking to put it back up when I solve the leak situation so Im looking to not damage the headliner. Any help would be much appreciated !!! I have already disassembled the top shelf and whatnot, and the headliner is still help in place by 4 socket type things (where the front and back headliner should meet).

TCJB Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Mine is first gen so I'm not sure if that also works, but I got it off ! Now there is a new problem... Water is leaking in from the antenna. Anyone ever had this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrint Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I removed the headliner in mine (1st gen) when I did the camper conversion. I recall using a forked automotive trim remover tool to pop those things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm223 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I pulled the front headliner (only headliner) in my 2nd gen by reaching my hand in behind/above the headliner and carefully pulling down, the Christmas tree deals just pulled straight down without issue. After first removing the plastic shelf, of course. Leaking antenna - sounds like maybe coming up with a new sealant method? Remove it, run a thin bead of maybe silicone or some other sealant, on the bottom mating surface, and then reinstall. Keep the headliner off for a couple rain storms to make sure the leak is fixed. Are you able to see exactly where it's leaking in from on the antenna? The hole where the bolt & wires go through, or perhaps the inside of the wire pass-through bolt itself? The latter would probably require a replacement antenna, rather than trying to fix leaks in the seams of the antenna body - or, coat the whole thing in that PlastiDip rubber coating and then reinstall when cured.

I've got the same issue on my 2015.. just fried my standard stereo.. I think it's coming throught the antenna also.. I'm going to investigate tomorrow and see what's up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
