What is the stock number and how much did you pay? I'm going to be doing the same myself.

>From my research, removing the old headliner from the fiberboard is probably best done with a stiff bristle brush. Depending on how much adhesive is left you might need to use something like GooGone to remove the old stuf but  I doubt that would be necessary.

3M Makes something called 3M Trim Adhesive and that seems to be the standard issue stuff. 

>From what I've heard, you should be able to put the front seats down and pull the headliner out the front by bowing it slightly.

Quote: I want to refurbish the headliner in my 91. At the aft edge, the cloth has
failed, and no amount of various adhesives has kept it from sagging for very
long.

>From the good people at J.C. Whip-Me, I have received a roll of replacement
headliner material. It appears to be a very close replacement for the stock
headliner: Mocha color is a good match, nylon tricot is same texture,
backed by a very thin layer of open-cell foam.

IIRC, both front seats have to come out to get the headliner out of the car.
(Right, George?) Next question, should I peel the old factory cloth off?
What sort of adhesive should I use to attach the new cloth? Any other tips?
