How to take down Headliner safely on 1794 Tundra (2018)

I was wondering if there are any diagrams or repair manuals to help me take down the roof headliner on my truck, i want to isolate a noise but i am having trouble with Map console in the front center, don't know how to safely take that down.

Thanks,

 

What type of noise are you getting?

 

I just took the headliner down in mine yesterday...is what you call the "map console" where the lights are?

 

Snapping noise continuous. Only on smooth HWY does it stop. Upper Passenger windshield. In the middle probably closer to where Map lights are and speaker console or whatever that black box is. Does it whether its plus 5 or minus 5 so i don't think its a cold issue. Been doing it for 3 months now. Purchased the truck in May. Its not plastic that holds rear view mirror wires i taped that. Not sure if its window clip either, that problem used to be famous. I hope its not a window issue.

 

Yes, the Front Map lights that are for driver and passenger and where it holds sunglasses and buttons for Moon Roof.


Thanks,

 

In mine which is 2016 DC there is a rectangular cover that you pry off from the sides and 2 torx screws are in there. Also 2 torx screws in the little eye glass storage. That's all the screws in mine. Than you just unplug the wires...mine had one. But be sure to be careful taking the headliner down, the replacement cost on mine is over $1.500.00 I had to take mine down to replace deployed airbags
In the second picture if you expand it the cover is in between the lights. For mine to drop completely down I had to take everything off, visors everything.

 

Wow. Did airbags deploy properly in accident i assume?? How did you get drivers side pillar off, its like mine it has no handle unlike passenger side. Great photos, best i have seen on this forum yet. Thanks.

 

I rearended someone unfortunately, we were both braking then he came to a dead stop. Was going 25 or 30 mph and braking. Bumper damage, no body damage. All airbags but one deployed.
On the drivers side there was a 10m screw...this was really odd under the cap that says airbag...lol

 

That screw had to come out to get the pillar off !

 

Looks like my parts will be in tomorrow, I will be at the shop if the parts come in early and can take more pictures than if that will help any

 

I do want to say...I wouldn't want to do this if I didnt have a problem like all the airbags deploying!!

You should be under warranty!!!

 

How much did replacing all those air bags cost?

 

So far estimate is over 10k
Under 2k of that is labor and front bumper

 

Crazy. Still cheaper than buying a new truck.

 

Yes it is, before the adjuster even seen my truck he told me to go shop for a new truck to have one lined up because mine would probably be totaled, just because of airbags.
Then a adjuster called and asked me if I knew where my truck was...because it wasnt where his paperwork said...we both thought it was stolen! Come to find out a shop had the same name but in a different town! So his paperwork was wrong. The adjuster said once he got to the shop that he was going to total it before he seen it again, he came back in and said no way can he total it, he said that trucks worth to much to total. I was glad I like my truck!!

 

Thats a crazy story.

 

Lol when the adjuster said your truck is NOT there...I laughed....then I may of cussed

 

I am sure he felt like an idiot after he hung up. Hopefully now he confirms the shops address instead of just the name.

 

It was funny he called right back to tell me it was where I told him ! He said hey just wanted to tell you your truck IS there...its the 2nd time that has happened to him !

 

The body shop sent this today....my trucks name is Richardmy brother is the bodyman!!!!

 

Curious why you don't just have the dealer mess with it, it's under warranty.
