After I came back from the Mooney Summit (thanks again, Mike, Abe, Ron and everyone) I decided to take my broken baggage door support arm off and have it repaired. To do so required taking a bit of the interior loose to get to everything. And thinking about Bruce Jaeger's Spatial Interior, I wanted to see how hard it was to take off what I had loose and - maybe - go ahead with the new interior. Take out a screw, bag it and tag it, remove the piece of plastic and repeat. Until I came to the pilot's side of the rear headliner covering the vent hoses. I couldn't get the screwdriver to get a bite on any of the screws. Upon further inspection, I figured out why. The plastic headliner is riveted to the skin! Is this a standard installation practice? So if I am thinking correctly, to replace the rear headliner, I have to drill out the rivets and rivet the new piece back in and paint the outside skin where I put the new rivets. I have never heard this mentioned in any of the threads, so I had to throw it out there. If it is SOP, I'll just adjust plans and timing on painting and interior replacement. John
