Headliner replacement tips..

I'm going to replace my sagging headliner in a few days. I have the board removed and the old liner stripped off. I need some tips on re-lining the visors as well as applying the new material to the board. This will be my first attempt at a liner and I am in no way experienced with applying fabrics to anything.
Also, does anyone know where I can get the little push-in doodads that hold the board up along the back and behind the dome (there's 4 all together)? I wouldn't mind replacing the laundry hooks as well but I can't seem to find them either. Any info would be great..

not sure if it helps, but i did one on an old saab i used to have and it took two of us. one would spray the glue and then the other would lay the fabric, three people would be the best. to lay it down the best i would use your hand to lay the fabric or a paint roller. i found that something like a level to press it down would leave marks. hope that helps, i could be totally off, but good luck.

I tried the 3M spray glue and it worked for about 2months and then it seemed everytime it would rain or be humid the liner would start to sag and i finally got a new one from dodge was only $104 for a regular cab. I might of had better luck if you sand a little of the foam off to get all old glue off. I think the hooks are factory parts as well.

There was a post on here a while back that gave very good step-by-step instructions on how to replace headliner. You might want to do a search for it. Good luck.
