I assume the previous owner threw out your old headliner if you have all the trim strips.

Ez mode to glue it down is to set it up on some saw horses, lay your fabric on on the headliner. Fold half the fabric back over itself. Spray the exposed half of the headliner and the folded fabric. Pull it over onto the glue and press together, repeat same proceedure for the other half. The one in the pics cost a total of $42 including the adhesive.

How did you get it out of the truck? Seems like it would be tough getting it out without messing it up

It is possible, but windshied removal is required not to damage or crease it...

Ok, thanks for the info. I didnt know the crew headliner board would go over the inner roof panels. I've got the board and material and have done plenty of h-liners. I guess seeing the suburbans with no inner panels under the board just had me worried. Guess i've got my plans for the weekend!
Again, thanks, that's what makes this the best forum I've been on.

Or you can pull the front and rear seats. Then with a bit of careful wrangeling get the headliner twisted and pulled out the rear doors without damaging it.
Done that a couple times inna past.

I've been wondering this as well. I was hoping the glass didn't have to come out. Sounds like if you're doing the whole interior & the seats are out anyway, it's worth a shot trying to 'wrangle' it out.
