SCab Headliner drop/removal for antenna repair

[skrumpe]

Has anyone ever done a write-up/video for dropping the headliner in a SCab? I found a video for a SCrew online, but it's not as thorough and doesn't cover the SCab.

I have a 2019 that I got about 4 years ago. Not long after I got it, I noticed the roof had a dent that appears to be from backing out of a garage. This year I finally am getting around to fixing it after finding a small suction cup dent puller at work that actually seems to have fixed the main part of the dent. Now the antenna wobbles and when lined with the roof sits a little high. The plan is to drop the back of the headliner and remove the antenna and try to remount/replace it, and I was hoping someone else had some experience with the SCab they could share on doing this.

It would be similar to the Crew Cab - just remove the side panels and associated covers and garment hangers and pull down slightly for enough access, having a sliding rear window helps with access - since the whole headliner is not being removed - its just enough for access and not damage the headliner (bending)

So, anything blocking the headliner from dropping down (at the rear) will need to be removed so it can easily be popped off the retaining clips

Thanks. This is going to be very helpful. I wish I had the sliding window but having this diagram is going to go a long way in visualizing what I need to remove.

Look up “Sherpa equipment company) they have a ranger roof rack and give decent instructions in a video on how to drip the headliner, given you are only doing the rear antenna you may get away with only remove the rear most trim

That’s the video I found with a SuperCrew.
