Well, I’m sorry it was such a headache, but it looks great..! Wanna do mine..?

I mean I’ll do it…. But you might not like the fee I’m gonna charge you to do it…..

I thought people pry the original wires off the headliner, break them free from the glue and leave them all hooked up, then reglue them as the headliner goes back in or not even reglue them but I’ve never done one. @Tonyrodz didn’t you do your headliner?

I can’t imagine that would save any time on a headliner replacement. Waiting for glue to set to be able to put the headliner in would add tons of time. Plus the stuff the factory used to insulate all the wiring is gross nasty stuff. It’s gooey and sticky…. Whenever it gets pulled from where it’s supposed to be it immediately gets icky. So I’d imagine pulling it off of one headliner would be a very nasty messy job…..

Ah well it was just a thought, I heard about someone doing it that way but maybe it’s better to leave the harnesses on the headliner. Glad you got it done, looks great!

So today was successful! Dropped down off the mountain, to run some errands. Sprouts is down there. Costco as well. But before those stops I hit the San Bernardino pick and pull junkyard. Hadn’t checked inventory online so I had no idea what I was gonna find. But needed a replacement done light for the one I cracked the mounting tabs on. And the forward passenger door sill plate was cracked and I broke a tab in it putting back into place at the end of the headliner swap. Found both pieces I needed out a 2005 SWB Denali that had the same interior colors as mine. Worked out well. The broken bits:

Also grabbed the plastic trim piece that goes across the headliner where it meets the tailgate in the rear. Mine was a little scratched but intact. Forgot a pic of the replacement installed. But I’m happy with it.

So I happened to stumble across a 2007 LS Tahoe in the yard. They’re getting newer years more and more now. Kinda cool. Pulled the i star center mirror just for ***** and giggles to see if it would work in my truck. Surprised but it works! Here’s mine… perfectly fine and working.

Cleaned, mounted, and hooked up… oh and on!!
