Hi all,

I am trying to remove the headliner on my 2005 Carver Super Sport in the stateroom. There is a panel just as you enter the stateroom which spans alomst the whole ceiling. On the edge of the panel, all around, the panel looks to be trimmed with a plastic strip all around. It looks very "removable" Does anyone know how I would remove the headliner or know where I could find out how?

Thanks...
 
the headliner will pull out of the "trim" piece...it's actually what is holding it in. Problem is, it will shrink and you won't be able to re-install it...plus there are special tools required to install the headliner which are very expensive.

Why are you wanting to remove it?
 
Thx Kenny,

I want to gain access to the wire chases for some additional lighting. The whole piece won't just pull down?
 
no..would be nice if it did. This new system they use for headliner is lightyears ahead of the old system, but still a little challenging...I've replace some in a fwd cabin. There's definately a learning curve to get out and keep out wrinkles
 
Mine has a what looks like a plastic strip all around also. It is actually a hinged piece. You can lift up the lip and underneath are the staple that hold it up. After stapling the top is hinged back over and the lip tucks into the bottom, covering the staples. If you need a sketch e-mail me.
 
Dave...yours sounds like an older Carver...that's the way they used to do it
 
Went through all my pictures; I don't have any showing that detail. I could get some but not for a week or so.

Ths boat is a 1985 Chris Craft Catalina 425.
 
Totally different system Dave. The new system on Carvers is a plastic track that the headliner tucks in to..stretching as it does. When you pull it out, it usually shrinks too much to put the same stuff back in, relegating installing new.
