Today we remove the headliner from the Xterra and install some round LED lights. While the headliner is out I also show you where the rivnut locations are under the head liner. Below are the tools/supplies I used in the video:

Awesome video! Thank you for your clarity and presentation of how to do.
Так значно краще – більше світла )))
Had to double take after that chrisfix intro lol.. but thanks again for your many x videos
Nissans have terribly weak lighting – we own a 1996 Nissan Altima. One thing you can do instead of this is to get an LED circuit card on ebay that replaces the 15w super-weak bulb. Our circuit card has 16 LEDs and I just soldered it into the dome ceiling panel since the LEDs are expected to outlast the lifetime of the car. It cost me $10 and i didn't have to remove the headliner :-). However, THANK YOU for this video because the cloth on my headliner has now fallen (car is 26 yrs old, headliner failed after 20Y parked outdoors), so now I DO have to remove the headliner. Your removal is much, much more difficult than mine because I doubt there is much in the way of fluids or electrical routed through a passenger car headliner :-). If your headliner is more than 15Y old such as on this xTerra you should probably remove the cloth and replace it with new foam & cloth if you work on the headliner AT ALL. Soon all the foam will split and no amount of glue will be able to fix the problem without new foam & cloth.
Hey Ry, I have a question since you removed your headliner. On the driver's side is it possible to install a grab handle like the one on the passenger side above the window? Thank you
Question: What year is this XTerra?
Thanks for the video..its going to make doing alot easier!
Man i just want to say thank you for your videos your graet I've learned so much about my exterra and you seem like a wonderful human thanks Jay…..
This is a perfect opportunity to install a sound deadener on your roof! Thanks for a great video!!!
I had a window replacement on my Nissan xterra 05 and the rear view mirror had the digital compass, they guys either cut it or unplugged it somehow. This hopefully helps check.
I was confused for just a moment. I clicked you're video but ChrisFix was doing your intro.
you should've spray painted the plastic black for the existing lights, so they match the lining LEDs.
Help fellow friends! I am having an issue with my 06 Xterra Rear Driver Side Door not wanting to open when unlocked.
Now I had this issue and then all of a sudden it started to open again. Unfortunately, the issue came back, and now it won’t open. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
Thanks for this
