Do some pics and post up with a new thread, I think it would be nominated for DIY sticky status. Not exactly the way you want notoriety and net-immortality, but it works.
Take care and enjoy the ride,

Greg, I did a search for W210 headliner removal and came up zip! Something tells me my choices are: 1. pull the headliner, take a bunch of pics and achieve net-immortality. or... 2. glue the thing down with some black silicone. Hmmm... Decisions, decisions...

I'd broaden the search across all forums on this site and just the word "headliner"; limiting it to 210 headliner removal is a bit too specific. All late models are going to be the same attachment system. If that's too broad you can narrow it thereafter.
You can also see if W210 Home Page has any helpful information on this issue.
If nothing really helps you can always buy the FSM, Matt got it from his dealer for $170 or so. Or you can always check another MB forum or resort to silicone at that point.
Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg

Greg, Thanks for the tip. I found a good thread on just the topic I was looking for. And, I was unaware of the W210 Home Page so thanks for turning me on to that. BTW, what is the FSM?
