I have helped replace my old capri one with my mate who is a motor trimmer
obviously your windows are out you will need a spray glue, and plenty of clamps I have stolen a couple of picks from Marty's ute rebuild showing the trimmer putting the headlining in http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...c/DSC00677.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...c/DSC00679.jpg start at one end pulling it firm, then the other, then the sides.... not a very hard operation, but, not one to be rushed |

It cost low $300's installed and that was many years back. I didn't realise it at the time, but the trimmer i used is very expensive for his work. Some of the cost surrounded having someone come in to remove and replace, the front, rear + the rear side windows (2 door). Looked fantastic.
