Headliner install tips?

Are there any tricks to getting the headliner in easy. Yes I searched. I just cut a new one out of 1/8" hardboard and may or may not cover it in vinyl. My old one was crumbled to bits. Do some of you guys put up part of the trim before you pop it in there?

Two sets of hand do make it easier. It is possible to do yourself if you loosely install one side and front and then support part of the headliner while you install the other trim and the center screw.

I usually loosely screw in the 2 front pieces and slide the headliner in. Then while holding it up with one hand, screw the pieces down.
