How long does it take to take to remove the headliner?

Need to drill a hole for my sirius shark fin antenna install tomorrow. Any special precautions or advice? I've printed off the service manual sections to remove the finishers and headliner but wondering how long it's gonna take me. Thanks in advance.

Takes no more than 10 minutes.

i started yesterday and didn't remove the 4 rear panels because i could not figure out how to get the rear seat cushions or console out for the life in me. service manual is kinda vague on that. i just removed the door seals, front finishers, map lights/visors and bolts right behind the SRS covers behind the driver's seat belts. slid the headliner forward some and pulled it out with the seats all the way leaned back. hole is drilled, just need to make it a little "boxy" since the antenna is a square peg going into a round hole right now. will do a nice DIY write up for headliner removal and antenna install. and no, it did not take me 10 minutes. try 3 hours for a noob.
