Good morning all. I have a 375 Freedom and replacing the SureShade Control box that is tucked up inside. How do I remove the headliner with the three lights in it please? Looks like it has been done before if you note the "screwdriver" marks on the left side of the vinyl.

I'd appreciate the help in opening it up. The new SureShade box looks pretty straightforward and hopefully it will resolve low power issues.

Thank you!

If you start by prying the panel, use a wide, plastic trim removal tool. They're inexpensive either online or Harbor Freight.

I believe the lights pull down/out, right? It *might* help to pull them down to give you a better handhold when pulling the panel down.
