Headliner Wrapping Video:
• How To: Wrap MK4 Jetta...
In this tutorial i show you how to remove your pillars and headliner out of your car so that you can wrap them. Part 2 will be released this week and will show how to actually wrap everything, what glue to use and where to get the fabric. Enjoy!!
“Pull shit up and yank it” just helped me get the visors off after watching many of these videos. Thanks!
This looks like an absolute NIGHTMARE of a job! Well done on making the video though!
For anyone watching and needing to redo your headliner, disconnect the battery when messing around the airbags
FYI... where you pull down the visor after removing the screw there is a connector wrapped in foam. You need to pull down a little to reach it. You dont need to rip the two wires out.
As you read these comments , some of them are epic, seems like they wanna have a mk4 but dont take the time to learn about your car before asking these ridiculous questions lmao. keep up the good work ammo , its fun watching the vids and very helpful. Im doing my pilars and liner tomorrow with your help thanks
A little advice for everyone if you want to wrap your pillars in leather like I did it is very hard and time consuming took me about an hour and a half per pillar because the leather lets you see all wrinkles and imperfections. I finally got it looking good by ironing all the creases out.
The visor has a clip where the cord disconnects without having to rip out the wire
This is a good guide ...i this to my mk4 jetta like 2 weeks ago. But i install Black Suede ..and it looks amazing.
Thank you guys. For this video.
don't remove it through the trunk! creases in the headliner matter, lower the front seat down all the way and angle it out the back door!! and you can re install it that way too
Okay guys i just did this today to my vw jetta 2002 without a sunroof. It was the same set up. The cloth on my headliner was falling off so i followed this video. You dont really have to twist the "bitch" clip you have to push it up and the pillars will unlatch. Now what i did i didnt mess with the middle pillars at all only the front and back. Once i got to the visors i accidentally tore off one of the connections from the drivers side (the part that you use a needle nose plyer on). So once i put it all back together the light from that visor wouldnt turn on because of the bad connection. The other side worked fine.one thing they sorta mention is those back lights. Once the headliner is down those lights are easy to come off. After putting the headliner back into the car i couldnt put those "bitch" clips back into place so i didnt put them back. Headliner looks better now and all i have to do is fix that visor connection. And like these guys said on their video. They didnt know what they were doing but they got it done so to me thats a win win. Hope this helps some of you all just becareful with those visors.
love your videos bro, especially couse i just bought a mk4 gti, really useful. i'm from NY, hopefully i see you at waterfest next year!
made it look super easy! thanks for your work man!
Thank you for this. Very Very Helpful Bro! Need a new carped and headliner due to mold. This was very valuable in pulling much of that crap out of there. Now off to pick a part to get a used one. :)
Nice!!!! Going to do my MK4 Golf...... your guys pretty much broke the whole process down!!! thumbz UP all day!
Ya the harness stays with the headliner, and to avoid damaging it remove it through the rear passenger door.
Super helpful! Awesome to see another dub from Jersey. Hope to see you at waterfest!
good write up,. bought a jetta daily and loved this video
Thank you so much I havent been able to find a video on this anywhere
For the record, you don't have to detach top seat belt bolts. Slide down the assembly, and remove headliner after the rest is done.
People wrap them because of the fabric on them. Atleast mine and my buddies are fabric
Thanks for the guides lads!
Thanks guys this really helped
It’s easier taking the headliner out the rear drivers side door. Recline front seats, drop headliner turn toward front passenger/rear driver passenger, turn on edge and work it out. Takes one person. Reverse to go back in.
For scraping off the old foam backing; Semco sealant scrapers. They can be sharpened for removing the residual foam. Much better than metal scrapers that will easily damage the headliner.

i want to do somthing crazy like bright red! thanks for the video
Remove the rear seat belts BEFORE removing the deck lid, there is a metal spacer, that if you’re like me and didn’t know about it, will drop it into the space between the fabric and your trunk liner. I did that about 5 minutes ago and am trying to figure out if I can get it out without taking ALL of that apart too
What about the Sunroof sliding door?
I have that navy blue stripped Volcom hood! It's reversible side is grey :)
Trim pieces our hilarious. Well done looked fun.
How difficult was it to get the rear deck out? I just redid my headliner but I have to do the A,B and C pillars and the rear deck now
Good stuff bro
How do you get rid of the foam on the pillars? The foam on the pillars are kind of a different type of foam.
I found your headliner video very helpful except for not covering the pice that slides over to cover the sun roof. I broke it. :(. Anyway noticed you seem to be around a lot of jettas I'm looking for a stock monsoon radio out of my 03 jetta was wondering if you knew someone that might want to get rid of theres. Thank you.
Hi, this may sound like a dumb question but I know that 1999.5 to 2002 Jetta side airbags were in option. I got a 2001 1.8t and I'm planning on removing the headliner this summer. The question is: If there is no Airbags label on my pillars, does it means I have no airbags in there?
Nice video. Why is there a battery in the trunk and what is it hooked up to?
I was going to pay someone to do this for me, but now I'm thinking of just doing it myself (i have a 2000 jetta). Question though, how do you remove the sunroof sliding door? or does that easily come out when you remove the headliner?
yo I'm just boggled on those taillights!! Do you tint the reverse part orange or is it the actual taillight? I cant find these tails anywhere!!!
Aye marina in the outro
Although I do appreciate the fact that these guys were willing to record and share their experience, there are a couple things missing. (This is not a remark towards the video as much as advice for future diy people)
The sun visors will (if they are wired to light source) have a clip that youll need to snap off. Do Not pull out the wires. Youll find the clip once you unbuckle the sun visor and look under the headliner.
Thanks for the video!!
I'm trying to run some power wires. What do you mean twist the clips too bad some parts of the video were cut off :/ mk4 How were the clips when you put them back on did you have to replace them?? Did you do the doors after all?? I need to re do my door panels
about to do mine!!
Damn cool thanks guys!
What about removing the sunroof shade? I'm having a hell of a time figuring out how to do it.
Bump
Remove the sunroof. From outside the car remove the front 2 screws that hold the sunshade to the glides. Remove the glides carefully. Pick up on front of sunshade and pull forward exposing the rear glides and their screws. Remove screws and glides and shade will pull out easily.
Nice video broham.
hey ammo where do you find out the dates for englishtown (car meets) if you could guide me in the right direction that would be great, thanks dude
Muchas gracias, you are the boss thanks
Very helpfull =) Thank you
what was the total time spent, taking out, gluing, drying and installing?
Great you guys thanks
thx for the vid!
thanks helped alot
thanks life saver
good looking out on the battery removal, its funny but not when people blow their aigbags on accident.
hey are those LEDs u have from this german company bc they look like the ones i have that i just installed that dont work for the license plate or sun visors. i got them off ebay.
mine were off ebay too. be careful where you order them like china cheap cheap..meaning will break from viberation...you might get stoped I've replaced some license plate lights several times.. almost all my lights are led :)) Ii just swapped the brand and location.. no problems since
You didn't show how to take off the sunroof visor.. thats a PITA and probably should have been shown for some people
Jonathan Reese is this bora or jetta
The Jetta is what we call the Bora here in the states is. Same thing. And yeah... The sunroof visor was the whole reason I watched this video
woah! pull down the rubber strips before trying to pull of the front two pillars people!!!
anyone know how to get the sun roof shade slider out?!?!
Bump
Remove the glass (4-6 screws I think?) then slide it out through the roof. No need to remove the headliner.
Thank You.
I've been tryna to st this "clip" off for hours wtf!!
Did you disconnect the battery to do this?
how do you put back the middle panels together??????
I did not re line my roof liner I put sound deadner on celling I took the piece out a door not trunk lol
The bitch clip - so true!
I figured out the trick to it. With a big screwdriver, push on the part of the clip closest to the car frame (get under it), push as hard as you can while pulling the trim away, it will pop right off.
Bro I know this a completely different topic than this video post. However, 3rd and reverse gears in my 01 1.8t vw mk4 are grinding. Is it because of the cheap ebay XTM clutch that was installed? Or a more serious problem?
did you use the clutch alignment tool??
mgbarela my old 98 vw jetta reverse gear went out in a snow storm when I got a little stuck... thus trying to free the car It was ggrinding to get the car out.. I replaced the transmission but it still made the noise but now it also works in reverse just made noise.. I told the new owner It's been replaced but never heard it do that before on any car. it now works again but for how long? I don't know. Maybe a throw out bearing ?? :) K2 style
May the Force be with me!
Cómo le hiciera para desmontar la persiana del quemacocos
I cant get the bracket clips off for the visor
yoo do u know whats the size of the rims i have a 2001 jetta and km looking 4 rims but idk the if they are 5x100 or 5x112
Aigth thanx and good vídeo man
I dig your tutorials, not a lot out there for VW. Next time get some trim removal tools, it makes life so much easier and you won't run the risk of damaging your clips. That was painful to watch! hope you don't have rattles all over in a couple months.
It seems so complicated. How many hours doesn’t it take to replace the headliner if I have no experience at all?
I want to do this to my Honda, sooo bad.
can the headliner be removed without removing the pillars?
You can just loosen them on the top
1:55 there is a fabric piece still on the door lining. Wtf do you do if that falls off.
When's the next comming out
hello how can I just remove the panel to put the new fabric in it could you explain it to me or make me a video how to do it thanks
?
I followed the video and got the headliner out right... however now my key fabs dont work, my trunk won't open, my car won't lock and my windows don't work... what did I do wrong??
That means your battery isn't connected/dead. Prob need to put it back on
Would this work for a Volkswagen Golf Mk4 aswell?
Works for any mk4 vw
how do you remove the sunroof slider?
David Hobbs yea
Push down and yank then boom there goes ur visors on the floor ig it’s off now
Make sure you buy some stretchy fabric!!! I'm using 100% copper and the C Pillars are literally impossible to do
Can I remove the headliner without removing the pillars?
You will definitely need to remove the back pillars thats for sure. The middle ones would also facilitate the headliners removal. In all honesty, its pretty simple to remove and install the pillars, you shouldn't worry.
You really only need to remove the A-pillars. Once they are out you can easily use a pry tool carefully to remove headliner from around B-pillars then slide headliner forward to free from C-pillar trim panels. Remove headliner from car thru the passenger rear door with rear bottom seat removed and passenger front seat all the way back and reclined fully. Passenger side of headliner will slide out between seat and B-pillar while you may need to lightly taco the board to remove. If its hard you are doing something wrong.
what about the sunroof visor?
Do not pull out wire as shown in video, you'll find a clip underneath the headliner that you can just pop off.
What about the sunroof slider?
You have to remove the sunroof glass and unscrew the slider from the top.
+terminator363 Probably. Unscrew it and slide the bracket back. Can't say for sure since I had my headliner out.
What kind are those rims?
Yea, seriously those rims are sick. What are those?
Would be a little better if u didn’t just cut every 40 seconds like we both know damn well the clip by the airbag doesn’t just come right off u should’ve spent some time on that
AJ is so fucking funny HAHA
The bicth clip is har af to get off be cuz o don't know wtf it is lol its been 3 hours
T-deeeeoooossss! No Fking way.
Would be a lot easier if you were more specific than "bitch clips" and how to remove them.
What on earth is the "bitch clip"
I dont think u can do this on a mk6 bc of the metal piece that goes around the sunroof it bends ur fucked
ha ha ha amateri.
apsolute wrong. bad job
Worst video I’ve found so far
no no no its not the good job. its to complicated. Very bad. This guy must lern.
