Not sure he made one for the header. I think he just filmed the A pillars' recover procedure. But there is at least one thread on how to do this on the forum.

You can buy trim tools at many auto parts stores or Harbor Freight that will help in getting off the overhead console. It is easy break the plastic tabs on that part.

Adhesive

I did not redo the fabric but lifted it with small strips of ducttape behind the rubber rims. Been perfect for 2 years now. I can post pictures if someone' s really interested

It looks like Reverend Sam used 3M type 77 ($10), other mentions I've seen were Permatex Body Shop Heavy-Duty Headliner Adhesive ($12), and 3M Headliner & Fabric Adhesive ($20).

Thank you!
