depends? What kind of suede are you using? does it have stretch or no stretch?

I have done 2 headliners one with suede I used in this thread that had stretch was really easy and one that had no stretch and it got bubbles like crazy. I will only use stretch material from now on.

You can try a little heat. If you got Alcantara money you should have a professional do it.

haha yea $40 well spent! I have done 2 other friends headliners since because they loved it haha.. Its really easy once you do it the first time.. I learned alot taking it out and it pretty much applies to every car take off A, B and C, pillars and such to get headliner down.

I did a girls in zebra print.. Its super trippy haha came out good tho and she gets more compliments on hers than I do prob because hers is more noticeable than mine.
