Need Headliner DIY for my antenna
Hey fellas,
I cant seem to find a solid diy, photos, step by step to remove the headliner for a 2009 135i. My reason to do this is to replace #1 on the link below. Does anyone have a step by step procedure or knows if i can remove just the rear portion to gain access to the part i need to replace? https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=65_1804 |

I want to say it just unclips in the back and maybe you need to take something out back there? I have taken one out of another 128 but that was a year or so ago and don’t remember much. Ill look in my car tomorrow to see if i can at least remember a little bit

Step 1: remove the airbag clip/sign i guess you could call it. thinner the tool you use to pry it off, the better. i dont recomend prying from the corners of the clip Step 2: With the clip removed, remove the screw holding the c pillar in place. I used a T20 bit BUT i believe it actually needs a T25. (T20 is the largest i had available.) Step 3: Unclip the C pillar. It may seem like you might break it but just make sure you start off prying it gently near the bottom (arrow) then when you have enough space at the top (box), mainly pry it off at the top to avoid breaking the C pillar if the clips are even that hard to unclip. Step 4: With the C pillar off, you will have an 8mm bolt holding the headliner in place (red circle). The blue circle, is the [s]"antenna amplifier diversity"[/s] Last edited by F13.KENN; 05-29-2018 at 09:33 PM.. |

Hey blue,
Thank you once again for taking the time to attempt this and take photos, i am truly grateful. I have one question though.. check this link below is your car also a 135i? https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=65_1804 I dont know if this link is correct but on my car the diversity amplifier is above it.. but it looks like i will have to use your instructions to remove the C-Pillars, i ordered the part labeled #1 in that link so once it comes i will follow your guide but i will need to just go a little further too in removing pieces i believe |

Sorry i meant the headliner by "above it" above the C-pillars. Let me know if you can see this attached image. It shows #1 as the part i will need to replace and it must be under the rear of the headliner

Ohhhhhh my bad... My slow self was thinking #2 was #1.....for #1 you will take off both C pillars, unbolt the headliner on both sides, and maybe the B pillars as well. Dont think you will be able to have enough room with just the C pillars off
