I saw a vid a few years ago of a guy doing his own on a large 4 door sedan and he couldn't figure out how to get it out in one piece so he cut it in half, cut it from one side to the other to get it out. He then recovered each half and put the two sections back in the car like that. He was proud enough of it that he posted his vid on you tube.
Oh my! Yeah there is a trick to it. I worked at Honda Mfg. in the repair Dept, so I had to replace headliners quite often. They would get damaged out on the assembly line. All it took was a slip of the gun, when someone was installing the sun visors. The tip would put a hole in the headliner. All the seats would have to lay down, and then the headliner would have to be tilted just so and go out the rear door opening at an angle.
