Remove headliner in 2009 f150 supercab?

I am posting this for my uncle. I wasn't able to do a search first, my Internet phone isn't letting me. If this has been covered already please send me the link.

Thanks,
Adam

 

He wants to remove the headliner to install a CB radio

 

not exactly sure about the 09s but its probably very similar to the 04-08s.
You have to take off all the b pillar trim and the rear c pillars as well as the front a piller "grab handles. Pretty much all the plastic that meets with the headliner must be removed or loosened enough for the headliner to pull out. You have to remove the rear push ins as well as the coat hanger hooks. (04-08 idk bout the 09+)The supercabs will probably be easier to remove, once the headliner is free, disconnect any cables and lay your front seats all the way back. With both doors opened it should be enough to squeeze out.
Be very careful not to bend it excessively, it is made of some fiberboard/fiberglass material and if you bend it, it cracks it and may not stay rigid after that. just dedicate a sat to removing it, as its a PITA. At least its not a crew cab, the rear window has to be removed for those to come out.

Id say to tell your uncle to find a better spot for the cb.

 

Yeah I already told him to put it some place else...

Sounds like a a PIA but he's retired so it might be fun for him who knows... Thanks for all the info.
