Headliner reupholstering

2) Pick out color (black does look nice)
3) Get them to come pick it up

And you're done.

Mmm.. if it only were that simple.
Take it you've never been to Sweden? The closest thing to a restyler we have around my neck of the woods would be the local car-audio store run by some teenage Volvo loving gangster wannabe The first (and last) time I was there (enquiring about some woofers) the members of staff just had to come out and have a look at my truck. Which is all good obviously, but I'd have liked to be served rather than them being too busy peeking through the windows and taking pictures with their cameraphones.

Hence, reupholstering the headliner is something I've chosen to do myself, but before I rip it out and start I'd love some heads-up on problem areas I may run into
