Pull the dome lights, sun visors, the headliner and the sound bar (if you have it).
I bought a late 90's GM review mirror with map lights from the JY to replace my factory one and the front dome light.
The wiring for the dome lights is held on by tape so use some goo gone and a razor blade to remove the residue from the metal.
Use a simple cleaner (brake cleaner works well) and wipe the bare metal.
The front dome has a bracket comin off the crossmember. I took a pair of tin snips and a file to it.
Pull out the back seat and use a couple trash bags to cover the front seats. Anything you don't want undercoat on, cover or remove it. The styff can get messy. Newspaper and painters tape works well on the windows and roof trim pieces.
From there, just start spraying. Like I said, I used 2 cans but a third wouldn't hurt. Use one can over the front seats and half on the roof over the rear seat, then the other on the rest. To make it loom better, make sure to get in the side lip and between the cross braces and ceiling.
Give it about 45 minutes to really dry. The stuff smells pretty bad for a couple days but it'll go away in about 4-5 days.
Reinstall the sound bar and rear dome light. Self tappers hold the sound bar and some expaning foam fills in between it and the roof. Once the foam is dry you can trim it and hut it with undercoating as well so it matches. I used some silicone to hold the dome light in place.
Not for the fun part - wiring in the new mirror so the map lights work. Out of that while thing of wires you need 4. Both pink wires (power and also the sun visor vanity lights if you have them), the black (ground) and the yellow (hot). Most GM's came with black, white, orange. So, black to black, yellow to white, pinks to orange. Cut and butt-end the rest, use some wite wrap and electrical tape on the rest, and then fish a couple zip ties through the holes right there in the roof to hold it all in place.
Put the visors back in and you're good to go. I haven't had any issues with it.
Couple pics for you of the wiring, sound bar, and rear dome.
