Could be off the mark here but I've interpreted this as wanting information on how to replace a convertible top headlining? If so, there's a TSB on it:

TSB 501-13 Convertible Top Headlining Replacement.pdf

I'm out at this point - mine's a coupe.

A few points:

-It is completely unecessary to remove the cantrail seal and carriers as the instructions describe.

-These instruction are for a factory replacement liner (expensive). Aftermarket liners do not unclude all of the plastic pieces sewn into the factory liner. The best aftermarket ones have everything except the rear window frame. Anything not included must be carefully removed from the old liner and sewn in the new liner. The rear window frame can be glued in place with headliner adhesive...you do not have to sew it like the original.

-You will need a pop-rivet tool, a drill and lots of patience.

-Take pictures as you dissassemble...you will be glad you did.

-Get spare material and recover the header an A-pillars at the same time.

This looks like an Indy shop install. Im a great mechanic,,,,,,but this is something I have to look at all the time, I may need to price installation.
I was thinking about new skin for the seats too.
