My 5-year-old daughters may have their own opinions about that though. I need to ban chalk from the truck or I might find pictures of flowers, cats, birds, etc. staring down at me.

Of course this was back when I was a young guy like you.

I thought I would share some lessons I learned while pulling and painting my headliner. These would also apply for anyone endeavoring to recover theirs.
1. Be patient and expect that at least one or more interior pieces will not cooperate with your attempts to remove and/or replace them (i.e. don't force those panel studs to go in or you might, um...break a couple). Consume a beer/wine/booze drink if that helps increase your patience (it did for me).
2. Have a helper assist you with the removal and replacement of the board (covered or not). Doing it by yourself can be, er, frustrating.
3. When removing the fasteners for the nets and rear lamp, take your time and DO NOT force them. The plastic pegs break easily.![Frown](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/smilies/udbMv2o.png)
4. Pop out the rear lamp assembly BEFORE dropping the headliner board and (more importantly) plug it back in AFTER putting it back into place. Otherwise (like me) you might be buying a new assembly because you tried (like an idiot) to stretch the connector on the assembly too far to reconnect with the wiring harness and ended up breaking the switch. D'oh!
5. Sit in your Rover and enjoy the fruits of your labor until the wee hours of the night or until your significant other sticks their head in the garage and asks what the hell you are doing.
