I did mine. 3m Super 77 from the office supply store is your glue.
It removes out the back hatch easily after you pull the trim and lights.
Clean the old liner very well. rub all that little bits off the stiff headliner. All of it. Come back to it over and over, the cleaner the better.
Make sure you can lay out and glue in a wind free open space. One bad moment and you can ruin the liner. The glue will destroy the good side of the foam, so dont get it on there. Apply glue to the liner, and press the foam on. DO NOT GET GLUE ON YOUR HANDS, IF YOU DO WASH IMMEDIATELY, you can kill the foam. Star deep in the middle, laying out the material wider than the sides. Trim AFTER you glue.
You can order material for a headliner easily.
Its about moving slowly and carefully, and cleaning the old liner off completely. Its an easy one by comparison to other cars, because it fits out the rear hatch so nicely.

Great. Thanks A. I appreciate your input. Am going with a Mossy Oak Camo headliner to match the interior. Just put a nice clean set of Black Flofit seats into the car and am having the center insets replaced with the same Camo pattern as well.
