You have to scrape the old foam off. When I did mine, the foam had a plastic back on it that was really fighting me to come off. You may want to give it a coat of resin to strengthen it up. I had mine recovered by a local shop after cleaning it up because it was a t top headliner and the corners were scaring me a bit.

1A sells it. You can even get it at a local fabric store like Joann's if you have one in your area.
