Takes only about 1.5 hours. The hardest part is putting it back in by yourself lol

Jo-Ann's fabric store. You'll need about 3 yards to do the whole headliner. Maybe even more depending on how wide the fabric is.

It was Aloha Print fabric that I found at Jo-Ann's too. The trim was the hardest thing to do because it was a bitch to get the clips on the backside undone without bending it it. But it wasn't that hard to bend them back into shape and then I just used a hot glue gun and rubber cement to put them back on. You can find both of them at Jo-Ann's too.

Out of pure curiosity, how did you manage to get those long strips of fabric above each door to hold back into postion? I have to redo my headliner as well but those strips of fabric look like they will peel off and hang. My friends a4 had a problem with those where they did hang down because they broke off when getting the headliner out. Did you glue them or were you just very careful?

I was pretty careful taking it out. But I did manage to break one (rear passenger side and I just used some adhesive from home depot to stick it back.

Well that definetly addressed my concerns. I suppose I will have to be super careful lol. Not my best characteristic. When I go to attempt it I will try my best to make a diy considering when I did my doors in suede I forgot too. In fact I wonder if I should post pictures and give people the tricks I used....idk, but thanks again man and that floral print is epic. Thumbs up for sure on the trim work.
