Replacing headliner
I have to replace the headliner in my 94 coupe. Does the healiner just pop out of the fiberglass top or are there any screws/moldings that I have to remove on the side?

........i took one out of a mid 90's targa top and found that it was securely glued in.
....i had a hell of a time removing it in 1 piece. i retro-fitted it into an 88 targa (after rebuilding the back) with clear bronze top to reduce the residual heat from top here in florida.

Take a thin putty knife and run it around the perimeter slowly prying upward until you slowly separate the old top from the fiberglass,
Thne scrape the fiberglass very clean
Then wrap the new headliner round the old fiber lining leaving only @ 1 inch around the "glue side" of the liner.
Then spray the adhesive onto the fiberglass and press the new liner on. It sticks quickly so aim well!
