I did the headliner for my Dad's this weekend, following the instructions from this thread. Came out awesome. 30 bucks or so and a couple hours work sure beats 300.00 from LMC (w/125.00 shipping). Mine went almost exactly as the write up, even the broke corners near the visors. Some duct tape and done. Fabric was a very close match and 15.00 from an upholstery shop. Extract and install was non eventful. I scrapped off the old foam with a putty knife. It does need two sets of hands when gluing the new headliner in place to keep the fabric tight and smooth.
Great write up.
I'm thinking the plastic corrugated material they make yard signs from would work.
The truck doesn't have the plastic trim above the rear window or above the doors to hold the board in place that other models have. Maybe because it was an XL? Not sure.
This is such an old thread if anyone still actually has their truck they did this to (and still read forums), please let us know how long it held up!
I have a crew cab so a perfectly good big window has to come off and this job is miserably more involved to happen again for my kid one day. I've been delaying this for so many years now because somehow this is my only vehicle that has never suffered a cracked windshield in over 15 years now, and well, it will just happen again like any headliner ever made, in the history of auto headliners... Sooo I'm going to replace the windshield one day when I feel in the mood to spend that money for no reason and take the headliner to a shop that will upholster the board with buttoned down padded leather like in Kenworth trucks, the nice ones not typical work trucks. No more glue to worry about ever again, I never want to do a headliner in anything ever again. And yes, I do know that as soon as I do this I will continue the replacing cracked windshields every couple years schedule, as usual for all of my other cars .
I am hoping this post will motivate a rock to find my windshield as its really my only hold up at this point. But the sagging is getting unbearable.

Yep, I did mine I think in 2017 and it still looks like the day I did it.
