Headliner removal

Headliner removal
Daughter's headliner is sagging. I've watched the various videos on line and does not seem too difficult to fix. But, just how difficult is the removing the headliner process, before I commit to this venture? Just a quick look seems like the only real issue is the shoulder part of the seat belts. Do I also have to pop off all the plastic trim? Any insights would be appreciated.

I had to remove mine to replace it; the seat belt parts arent what you have to worry about, there is actually a cutout so that they're able to slide right out. The only difficulty your really going to face is getting it out of the car(Which really the only way is through the hatch). You want to take it out without damaging any part of it, I recommend taking a few of the top panels out, along with the dome light(two screws), and slowly inch it out. The only thing keeping it attached to the top is a piece of velcro. The headliner comes off but do it slowly and at your leisure, sometimes replacing it isn't all that necessary, slowly peel the headliner off until you get to the sagging part, use some 3M Adhesive Spray (Extra strength to be safe) and spray it on the bottom of the peeled headliner, hold it back down on the headliner insulation, and it should stay. Hope this helps.

Edit* There may not be slits to slide it out from the seatbelt, there was in mine but my headliner had already been messed with. You may have to slit it yourself

When I initially looked at it, I did not see any slits which is why I said that looks to be the problem area. I'm hoping there is some sort of access to the bolt mechanism which can be undone as apposed to slitting it. My plan was to try to reuse the cloth but was waiting until I get it out to see. Thanks for the input...

In removing the plastic molding that wraps around from the front windshield A pillar across the top of the door. I assume there are just plastic clips holding it in place but where is the best place to start to avoid breaking the molding? I want to avoid creating more damage so looking for any suggestions first. I see where it looks best to remove visors, then this molding I'm referring to. Those that have done it before, which pieces first to make it easier? Thanks in advance.
