Newbie question - manuals
I've got the Haynes manual, but it seems to leave a lot out. In particular, how about removing interior trim pieces like the headliner and dash? Any other recommended educational sources?

Go to www.iluvmyrx7.com and dl the service manual. The Haynes manual, aside from its photographs, is best suited for camping and hiking trips when you've forgotten to bring toilet paper...

The factory manual isn't a whole lot better for the trim pieces, but it does show some extra things.
Some Evil hints:
1) There are two screws hiding behind the central AC vents.
2) These cars are old, and things will break just from the torque of the screwdriver. Don't remove anything unless you absolutely need to.
3) A special trim removing tool is available from your local auto parts store for just a few dollars, and it makes everything much easier. It looks like a screwdriver with a split tip like you may see at the end of a crowbar.
4) Don't over-tighten the screw on the plastic recess for the door latch or it will crack.
