About a week after the initial excitement of buying my car subsided, I started to be bothered by rattling crossbars under the roof lining. However, I never dared to climb inside—unsure how to remove them and afraid of tearing or breaking something. And so, on a Saturday evening, I finally began quietly removing everything. The first problem appeared immediately—the rearview mirror screw wouldn't come out. I tried to unscrew it but ended up damaging all the slots, not a DIY pro—I found a good screwdriver and pressed down hard—no dice. Ultimately, I had to buy a set of extractors for 300 rubles—a drill, a screw, and voila—the screw popped out. Having removed the mirror, sun visors, handles, door pillar coverings front and back, partially detached each door seal. Along the sides, lifted one corner of the lining, then gently pulled it off. Long wondered how to remove spring tensioners—pulled one down and it bent easily and elastically, grabbed the end and pushed it out sideways and downwards—it came off the track. Found the source of the noise.
By the way, the roof lining stretched after my reinstallation; before, it hung like a bag. Those who had previously assembled it installed the spring tensioners incorrectly (upside down), I initially did as well but noticed a bubble that formed right away. Once corrected, they immediately secured the lining tightly to the roof.
As in other cases, my friend Karlay helped me. Now the best part—the interior is quiet; only a poorly glued air freshener at the front rattles slightly. I'm happier with this modification than all my repairs combined—it's all about comfort.
