Re: headliner mod
I own an upholstery shop. If you have the board and the moldings it would be pretty easy. I would take it to a shop to have them cover the board or buy a board thats already covered. I would use regular headliner material and not vinyl because although vinyl may hold it usually wont last as long because you have heat baking the roof and the heavy weight of the vinyl fighting to drop it.

Re: headliner mod
Put in all the trim first. That way you can mark and drill all the mounting holes that you'll need.
Remove the visors and the interior light assembly. install the headliner using the visors to hold the front of the headliner and reinstall the dome light assembly to hold up the rear of the head liner. Reinstall all the trim and you're done.
