Is it difficult to replace the headliner? I have an estimate for around $400, is that a good deal?

IF YOU AIN'T EVER TRIED TO DO ONE, YOU'LL PROBABLY WIND UP WITH A CRAPPY LOOKING LINER (IT WILL ONLY "LOOK GOOD" TO YOU! OTHER "GOOD OPINIONS" ARE CAST OUT THERE, JUST TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD). A FEW YEARS BACK, A REALLY SKILLED LOCAL FELLER WOULD DO ONE FOR ANY CAR FOR $100. I'M SURE THE PRICE HAS WENT UP SOME, AND YOUR ESCAPE IS LARGER. I FEEL THAT YOU CAN BEAT THAT ESTIMATE IF YOU WILL SHOP AROUND A LITTLE MORE. HAVE YOU INVESTIGATED THE AUTO SALVAGE YARD OPTION? THE MEDIC

Actually sounds a bit steep Mike. I would expect more around the $250 range.

I guess, headliners are installed at factory without windshields or no interiors
