When removing bulky parts (e.g. bench seat, headliner, dashboard) always work with aid of second person to prevent damage.

When installing interior parts on points intended for this purpose, install insulating material or protective foils, if necessary replace insulating material and protective foil to prevent vibration and noise insulation.
