you can use the one with the circle or the one on the left of the circle one to pry it up.

Just curious, has anyone remove their headliner? This material feels like it would crumble and crease easily. How durable is the material? I just want to put some damper on the roof.

ive not done it. unless you really need to remove it i suggest you just leave it alone unless you have a helper.
you dont want any creases on it.

i should say ive not done it on the Z... but done it on other cars.

When we made a OEM mold for a infinity SUV the finished product had a shitton of glue on it and I don't think you would ever get it really tight again once it was pulled loose. I don't know about the Z specifically but I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig on my own car.

Yeah those things are great but buy a few sets, they wear out really fast on the tight areas, especially those narrow ones with the fine points, mine wear out fast, the majority of the other ones I never use.
I know guys at the Port in FL for Toyota that fit a lot of aftermarket things on Toyota cars before dealer delivery that have them made from nylon that's a lot harder than the cheap stuff they make the ones I can buy out of.

Well after two weeks, I'm finally done with dampening the whole car minus the roof. I ended up using 72 sq feet of damplifier pro, and 36 sq feet of luxury liner. Total approximate weight added is 80lbs. I'm going to have to take one huge **** to compensate for this.

Initial ride impression blew me away. I've dampen the whole car before so I had some realistic expectation of how the Z would turn out. But using the luxury liner, I never expected the result to be so profound. On smooth road, the Z is now quieter than my rx350. On textured road it's still a little louder than the Lexus, but it does not have that loud resonating hollow drone sound anymore. Instead, it sounds muffled and contained. Wind noise is still the same, a lot louder than my Lexus. I think it's because I didn't dampen my roof.

Overall, the whole thing is worth doing in my opinion. Would def do this again, after I get a massage for my back.
