Introduction
Some 2007 and 2008 model year Camry and Camry HV customers may complain that the headliner is coming loose at the rear. The condition is visible through the rear window and in some cases may cause a small crease in the rear of the headliner. The condition is caused by improperly installed headliner clips. Installing new headliner clips and reinstalling the headliner in the correct sequence as shown on page 6 will correct this condition.
