Default How to: Source on headliner replacement?

Hey guys, Do you know of a URL for a step by step description of how to replace a C4 headliner? I've got the new material, and the adhesive, but I can't see how to get the top apart.

On mine the old headliner material was glued to a semi-stiff fiberglass backerboard. (kinda like what A/C main ducts are made from.)

The backerboard was glued to the targa top so I just carefully pried using a stiff putty knife 'till it was free. I used a stiff bristled brush to remove any of the old foam from the backer.

The headliner material that I got was already glued to 1/4" thick foam so it went on real nice. Actually, I think it looks better than factory.
