i reskined my full headliner. it was fairly easy and only took a few hours... i pulled mine out, removed what material was left, then brushed odd the the loose old foam. i have a locall glass shop that stocks headliner material, it cost me about $40 bucks + a couple of cans a good spray adhesive. i sprayed down both the new headliner and the headliner panel with adhesive. then slowly rolled out and laid down the new material... 2 people is almost a must, cuz once it sticks... it down! i'm every happy with the results! looks great, just dont skimp on the spray adhesive.

Get the better adhesive. 3M "yellow" brand from any parts store. Twenty bucks a can and you'll need two at minimum and three to be safe. You'll need three yards of headliner fabric. You can find that at most fabric stores like Jo-Ann Fabric.

You can get the material from most fabric stores. Not to hard to do I used the permatex adhesive in the orange can. Looked good when I finished even did the overhead console. Cost around 60 bucs with materials and 2-3 cans of adhesive.

I used the same adhesive. Works well so far, but it's only been up for a couple days.

I spent the last few days working on the headliner (only because I spent a lot of time letting it fully dry and I worked on the soundbar too - It was cracked in the middle and I used JB weld to get it to stock back together and also cleaned it up before putting it back on)
