8. Install the headliner in the reverse order of removal, and note these items: 

If the side curtain airbag has deployed, replace the headliner and removed trim pieces with new 
ones.  

To prevent the side curtain airbags from deploying improperly and possibly causing injury, inspect 
removed pieces and replace them if they have any of these types of damage: 

Any crease or tears in the headliner (A)  

Any deformations in the grab handle (B)  

Any damage around the grab handle holes (C) or Sunvisor holes in the headliner  

Any cracks in the sunvisor stay base (D)  

Any bends or cracks in the sunvisor stay shaft (E)  

Any cracks in the sunvisor base (F)  

Any Velcro fasteners (G) which have come off the headliner  

Check if the clips are damaged or stress-whitened, and if necessary, replace them with new ones.  

Replace the removed cushion tape with new ones.  

Check that both sides of the headliner are securely attached to the trim.  

Make sure the headliner overlaps the trim pieces correctly (see COMPONENT 
REPLACEMENT/INSPECTION AFTER DEPLOYMENT
 ).  

When reinstalling the headliner through the tailgate opening, be careful not to fold or bent it. Also, 
be careful not to scratch the body.  

With skylight: When installing the roof trim (H), align the roof trim ends with the opening flange of 
the skylight frame as shown.
