Quation on Headliners

What did you guys use to cut the holes for your overhead consoles? My new headliner is made out of plastic and is covered in fabric.

I want to do this right without cutting it all up. Thanks.

i used a good sharp utility knife and went real slow. i cut from the plastci side taking care not to cut any material until i was ready to cut it. when i got the plastic out i cut an x in the material and taped back the material to help hold it tight.

That is actually a really good idea. I never considered that. Thanks.
