redoing my redone headliner

I redid my headliner last summer, and Its holding up great... but i screwed up the corners (you can see the backing with the ttops off) and I used clothespins all along the front edge, and they left permenant marks because i guess the glue soaked through :P

anyways question is, to anyone who had todo it twice, is the material going to come off without tearing up the board??

and for anyone who has a black headliner, is it hard to keep clean? Im thinking about going with black this time, but my ttop shades are black and they get dirty looking fast

when i re-did my sagging ole' headliner i made mistakes around the corners also...really pissed me off since everything was looking great, till u look at the corners. So, i've also gotta re-do it. When i did my redo, i changed the color from gray to black, and so far, have no trouble with the black. Don't konw what you're t-top shades are covered with, but, its possile that the material might hold dirt and grime more than the headliner material does.
