I heard stuff rolling around in the headliner. I got the dome light out and some acorn pieces came out so I have a critter problem. My plan is too pull down the headliner enough to get a vacuum in there. I have a crew cab. Does anyone know how to go about dropping the headliner? Is there a section that's easier to get to than another? Seems like I am going to have to remove the plastic trim pieces around the doors but I have no idea where to start.

In case anyone is interested in my general critter removal strategy, I have made my garage a minefield of mouse traps. I have so far caught one under the hood on the battery box, and under the rear seats.

For goodness sake man, don't go out there without shoes on, things could get snappy!

If you have mice in your cab I have a feeling setting traps outside the vehicle won't be enough to deter them from continuing to access the warm cozy confines of your truck. I would read through this thread and maybe go through some of the fixes to keep them from getting in the cab.
