Saved this procedure . . .

clayjo, I have not tried this procedure (even though my sunroof headliner could use replacement as well :-? ) but it appears to be quite detailed :-k

Tells you to wash your hands about 20 times [-X

Good luck 8)

Funk, pull one of your rear seats and you'll see that there "should" be plenty of leather that was overlapped, specifically along the center console/arm rest :-k This should also be the original color, or as close as you're gonna get, given that it won't be sun bleached :roll: Nice job Tay...
