    Headliner installation scares me😩. I’m good at a lot of stuff but I can see me making a mess of that.

    Another way to install headliner, besides stretching, is to cut/make plywood panels, cut the holes for the lights and then stretch and staple the vinyl to the back side. Epoxy/screw some wood spacers to the underside of the deck to make room for the wires and to also have a good place to attach the super strong plastic hook and loop to hold up the panels.
    We did our salon this way back in 2002 or so, there still hanging there without issue.
