You asked for the best way...basically, remove all trim from back to front. Remove sun visors, dome light, handles on liner...pull through back hatch. Peel old liner off, scrub off all foam left behind. Get headliner material...many options online...look around. lay it out on headboard, pull half way back, spray adhesive on back of liner you pulled back and on headboard, glue in place, then do other half. Let dry, put back in through back hatch, replace moldings etc. Don't forget to cut holes where screws go....should take a few hours.

or you can hit up your local fabric store. I got some black fake suede material for like $20 or $30 and used contact cement to adhere it to the fiberglass. one mistake i made was laying more fiberglass down and not sanding it down as it came out all bumpy, so you can kinda see it in some spots outside the fabric. it is still way better than having the crappy old stuff hanging down all over the place tho
