I did headliner on my '95. It's mostly R&R, there are a few tricks, happy to share. A factory replacement is $$$ but I cleaned up the base (thin Fiberglas®?), removing all the sticky disintegrated foam (that's what fails, causing the sag). A local upholstery guy had a near-perfect match for fabric and did that part of the job for $60. It's not Alcantera but certainly acceptable and you'd have to be an expert to know it's not factory.

Sounds like you should grab it for less than $1000.
