Note: Temporarily lowering the #1 bow will allow for
easier access to the short headliner string attachment
screw locations.
13. Remove the screw (1) holding the end eyelet of the
short headliner string to the inboard side of the side
rail links (shown in blue above), from the right and
left side.
14. Disconnect the rear defroster wiring harness.
15. Remove the headliner by sliding it through the #2,
#3 and #4 roof bows. Slide the material
simultaneously within the bows in order to avoid
binding.
16. To install the headliner slide the material into the
#2, #3, and #4 bows. Slide the material
simultaneously within the bows to avoid binding.

Note: Install only the top two retainer bracket screws to
each side, at this time. The bottom screws, which also
retain the long headliner string, will be attached later
during step 21.
19. Install the screws (1) to secure the bracket and
headliner to the rear side rail.

Important: Ensure that the D-ring is pointed toward
the interior of the vehicle, as shown above.
20. Starting with the long headliner string (shown in
green above), take the D-ring (1) furthest from the
end eyelet and attach it to the underside of the
#5 bow, on the right and left side.

Important: Ensure that the orientation of the D-ring
and eyelet are as shown above and that the string is
routed on the outboard side of the rear counterbalance
link, as shown earlier in Figure 2.
21. Attach the second D-ring and the end eyelet of the
string to the bottom screw location of the headliner
retainer bracket (position 2 shown above), on the
right and left side.

Note: For illustration purposes, the third D-ring and
metal key ring are shown outside the vehicle. When
actually doing this step, the end eyelet (hanging down
in the above graphic) and the second D-ring will already
be attached.
Important: Whether first or second design, when
attaching the third D-ring, ensure that the string is
routed underneath the rear counterbalance link, as
shown earlier in Figure 2.

22. On the right and left side, grab the third D-ring (3),
slide the metal ring (black arrow) over the string,
and attach the D-ring to the side rail link using the
appropriate procedure below. For first design
vehicles, complete step 23.1; for second design
vehicles, begin with step 23.2.

Bulletin No.: 08-08-110-001G

Note: Though not attached yet, the anti-glare cover
string (in red) is shown in the above graphic for
illustration purposes. This helps show the proper
orientation of the D-ring and the metal key ring, when
the top is in closed position.
Important: The short headliner string (shown in blue in
the graphic below) must be routed through the third
D-ring (3) of the longer string. This is easier to do
PRIOR to attaching the third D-ring and can be
accomplished by slightly opening up the diameter of the
D-ring to allow the short string's end eyelet to pass
through.
22.2. Attach the screw that retains the third D-ring
(3) to the side rail link, on the right and left
side. Ensure that the D-ring is pointed to the
front of the vehicle, as shown above.

Note: If the P-clip is not on the new headliner string,
install the ones retained from the original headliner.
Important: Prior to securing the rivet, ensure that the
short headliner string (shown in blue above) is routed
through the P-clip and that the D-ring and P-clip are in
the proper orientation. The P-clip should point to the
outside of the vehicle and the D-ring should point
forward.
22.1. Attach the third D-ring (2) and the P-clip (3)
to the side rail link using a rivet (1), on the
right and left side.
2374460

Important: Prior to attaching the end eyelets, ensure
that the short headliner string (shown in blue above) is
routed through the P-clip (design one) or fed through
the third D-ring (3) of the long headliner string (design
two, shown above).

Important: Prior to installing the #5 bow link arms,
lower the #1 and #5 bow to normal closed position and
inspect the headliner for proper string routing and
tension.
Note: When installing the #5 bow link arms, ensure
that the long headliner string is routed above the arms
as shown earlier in Figure 2.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper

job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
