As the old one was only attached by one square inch I thought I would do it myself, sunroof cover has turned out ok. Now the main panel, how do you get all the packing creases out ? Or do you stretch it when gluing ? Loathe to iron it with the foam backing 😁  |

Hot air gun/hairdryer and a gentle stretch whilst gluing?

I take it it's the brushed nylon stuff that you glue to headliner board, rather than a suspended headliner?
Steaming it with an upholstery steamer would be the ideal solution, but failing that you can iron it on a very low temperature and it should be OK (test a piece first though!) or put some damp towels on top and iron it on a higher setting through the towels. Again, test a bit first and don't let the towels dry out.
I would avoid using a heat gun as it can scorch the fibres quite easily.
Gluing it on and stretching out the creases might work but if not, you'll be left with a creased headliner permanently glued in plac!e
