d00d this is an easyone.
step one:
ok take your t-tops off
step two:
on each t-top these are two plastic moldings"(fornt and back, back has two screws and front has one) Take all four of them off.
step three:
take speaker covers off
step four:
there is one screw above the where the speaker cover used to be, take it all the way out.
step five:
take the long plastic panel that is where the hatch begins off, there should be 4 screws.
step six:
the plastic panel where the speakers are bend it as far as you can to get the corner of the headliner out(try not to bend the headliner but if you do you should be alright)
step seven:
take the dome light off, the white plastic, just pull it down and it comes off, and there should be two tensuion rings on two peices of metal, take them out with some pliers.
step eight:
becareful now because it should be barely held in or already out by now. And my sugestion is to open the hatch and pull the headliner out that way so you dont bend it(when you put it back in definately put it through the hatch.
d00d i hope this helped. just so happened i dida headliner 4 days ago for mine and the craftmanship is perfect. no imperfections at all. if you follow these thr job will be easier.

Also, remember to take the visors off - they're holding the front of the headliner to your car.
And, check out the tech articles here - there are some headliner ones.
