View from the other side - Nope, didn't take the front window out either. The headliner tucks up under the seal very nicely and with some doubling of the extra material, along with the wood trim, its held tight. Removing the windows is the proper way, but I wasn't feeling lucky and glass is a bit fragile.

Getting close. You'll note some wrinkles and pooched areas near the end of the seams. I believe with some water and heat I can shrink the wrinkles out and what will remain of the pooched areas is largely hidden by wood trim. It actually looks worse in the picture than in person.

Note the extra piece of wood trim (its actually plastic fiber board but SHHHH! don't tell anyone). I can;t take credit for this idea, someone else did it first. I tapped the metal support just above the window then used this trim piece to help secure the headliner. I also wrapped wire all the way around the rubber seal, keeping the headliner snug. Neither is required of course if you take out the window.

I installed the lower part of the headliner ( just above the back seat) as a separate piece, you can't tell with the package shelf installed. If you remove the rear window, this is probably not necessary.

One of the more tricky parts - installing the rear interior lights. Takes guts and a sharp probe to cut holes in your nice new headliner. I found a sharp probe was the best way to locate the screw holes. I used a little spray adhesive on the vertical pieces, may not be required if you remove the window (like you're supposed to)

There is some debate on where to start, but I always start in the middle, stretch and adjust each side equally, and work my way forward. Then I work my way from the middle back. Expect to repeat the "Staple, adjust, stretch remove staple, re-staple" cycle a few times.

This is the headliner hanging from the bows. Remember that the bows install in a particular place front to back, they wont work if you get them out of order, so label prior to removal.

I probably removed most of the staples you see in place here, expect to repeat the "Staple, adjust, stretch remove staple, re-staple" cycle a few times.

One of the more tricky parts - the rear interior lights. Takes a long probe and some guts to stick holes in the headliner. I found a long, sharp metal probe to be great for finding the screw holes. I also used some spray adhesive on the vertical part here - many not be needed if you take the window out (I didn't)

There is debate on how and where to start - I always start in the middle, stretching and attaching the sides equally and working my way forward. Then, I work my way back. I probably removed most of the staples you see in place here later - expect to "staple, stretch, adjust, remove staple, re-staple...." as you go. Just don't cut anything until you're done.

This is the headliner hanging with all bows in place. If you don't already know, the bows go in a particular order and cannot be used properly out of order, so label or mark them when you remove.

The tar backing took a lot more work. What I found to work best was a medium-flex putty knife, elbow grease and a few blisters. Sharpening the putty knife every so often helps. Be aware that even though the roof metal is thick, you want to be careful an avoid making dents or lines in the roof - scrape with aggressive care.

In the beginning, there was a roof with nasty old underlay. I actually removed this by sticking my shop vac against the roof and running it back and forth - it was that rotten.
