Chrysler Repair: 2008 Chrysler Pacifica Headliner, negative battery cable, 2008 chrysler pacifica


Question
There is a thumping noise above the headliner in our '08 Pacifica. I am extremely handy - how do I lower the headliner to stuff some insulation between the headliner and the roof? How does the interior dome light come out - pull on it or remove lens and unscrew?

Thanks
