My old '88 GMC regular cab...... But most labor was me removing & install.

Ok. Reg cab is pretty easy, and small. Hardest part is dropping it down. Still a good price tho.

No, the hardest part is getting it out of the truck after you drop it down. Pull the back glass or windshield.

Uh...... maybe cut the roof off

That’s one way, plus you wouldn’t even need to pull the headliner off, just turn the roof upside down.

Unlimited options to do it wrong....... Ha...

My sunroof slider-cover / fabric is falling..... I am NOT going to pull the sunroof up & out....

I wonder if I can remove the falling fabric and apply a matching material?

Forgot about that part. Gotta bend it slightly enough without breaking it. It's a heated garage, or summer job for sure.

Not 100% sure, but I think I've read the slider can be taken out without dropping the whole headliner--just the front--but I'm not positive--pretty sure tho.

Pickups usually gotta pull the back glass. Extended or CC’s for sure, not sure about regular cabs.

Got my GN headliner material from there. Cheap.

Nice to hear I should be able to remove the sun 'shade'... I'll look into that.

I've recovered the front section of the headliner in my suburban with a foam-backed micro-suede material that looks really nice. I'll snap some pictures shortly.

I've done my old Saab using the same stuff and it held up well for the years I had it until it was totaled (Insurance adjuster noted the unusually nice headliner)...

I have had no problems with the 3M spray adhesive. As long as used per the instructions it should be fine. Has lasted years in Texas heat.

Good preparation is paramount, when you peel off the old fabric, a lot of the foam (which is the part that ends up failing in the first place) will remain on the headliner board. Make sure all traces of that is removed before you put your new headliner on.

The lower pic is your Onstar mic, other is I believe an aspirator or thermostat for the HVAC. The rear HVAC panel just slides out, it has a tab in each side so if you slide a small flat screwdriver on the side it pushes the tab in to release it while you pull back on the panel.

If you are talking about the whole "pod" that the rear hvac controls and map lights are mounted in I believe mine had a screw in the front, right by the arm for the rear view mirror. Once that is removed it just pops out.

He said the rear panel, not the one up front by the mirror.

I believe there is some room for confusion between the rear panel form controlling HVAC and the front control for rear HVAC .
