mind4, im pretty sure that once you remove all the panels around the edges, and the light fixture, you could prob just give it a tug if it doesnt fall off, at least thats how it was with my dynasty, the roof liner was coming apart, so i ripped it out.

Yea, I just used black fabric paint on this headliner and it came out great. On my other two cars tho, we used vinyl. You have to use a special contact cement to get it to stick well tho.

What did you use?

It was a headliner adhesive that we ordered from a place called Select Products (I worked at a custom stereo shop). It was a two part adhesive that has to be mixed up in a paint gun to be sprayed. You spray both the headliner and the vinyl, let it sit for a minute, then stick it together. ANother thing you need to do to make it stick is to pull off the factory installed fabric, then use sandpaper or something like that, to get all the foam off from under the original fabric. That way you have just the hard part of the headliner and the glue can't sink into anything
