its not hard at all. just take ur visors, dome light, and all the trim off of the liner and it should come down. just pop another one in.

If its that bad and the fabric is detached itself to the point you can detach the fabric from the liner w/o ripping it. You can get a can of spray glue and reuse the fabric.

clean the board very well and use contact cement not spray glue the headliner will be better than new.However I would suggest new material it will hold better

I put a camo headliner in my truck. It was very easy. I used heavy duty upholstery glue. If you want to see what it looks like you can go to my album and there is a pic of my headliner and some other stuff in there.
