- With sunroof (F22 & F87 with option code 403): 51 44 011
- Without sunroof: 51 44 001
- Carefully push the headliner downwards at the driver’s seating position. Use an inspection mirroror endoscope to read the DATE on the supplier’s ID label (circled in green) located above the driver’s sunvisor position.
Disregard the 2 green circles in the rear section of the headliner for this step.

- 2 felt packs are needed

- Apply both buffer segments onto the rear portion of the reinforcement plates (circled below) in overlapping position
