Well I started taking out the headliner and found this 12V wire dead-ending in back of hallway at the first joint, I was wondering what it's there for. Maybe for vent? I've got dual A/C units so vent not there. http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=37818&title=12v-power-to-what-3f&cat=5587

Hope the rest goes as easily as the first panel, although had to jack the roof up slightly on the passenger side as it had the headliner wedged tight. That leads to the question of should I trim the top of the rear bath module wall to give clearance for putting the panels back, I don't think the roof will stay up once I remove the brace.

Also those wire covers that everyone says are a bear to remove are truly a PITA, after a couple minutes trying to get off without breaking I said screw-it and commenced to the old grab and rip.... ending in tons of pieces but didn't take long!

I ran into that same problem. Take a look at my photos of my headliner instal to see what I did. The photos are out of order now, something happened when the photo site was down once, but you can find the photos on the problem, I am sure. All have captions.
