   2. Carefully remove the wiring harness from the original headliner.

   3. Using a marking tool, mark the new headliner with the routing location and the wiring harness exit points from the original headliner.

   4. NOTICE: Do not damage the wiring harness when cutting off the excess adhesive from the wiring harness.

      Cut and remove the excess adhesive from the wiring harness.

   5. Position the wiring harness on the new headliner, making sure the straps are long enough to connect to the body/roof connectors at the previously taped locations. Apply tape to temporarily hold the wiring harness on the headliner.

   6. Apply adhesive in the same location as the factory-installed adhesive along the entire length of the wiring harness-to-headliner attachment to avoid NVH concerns.
