Check that both sides of the headliner are securely attached to the trim.
When reinstalling the headliner through the front passenger's door opening, be careful not to fold or bend it. Also, be careful not to scratch the body.

-
If equipped, connect the navigation microphone connector (Q) or the HFT microphone connector, and/or the ultrasonic sensor connector.
