Hi Nicolas

You need a bunt instrument to push the headliner forward above where rear view mirror is located. The headliner has a cardboard /fibre  board strip stitched to the edge that hooks over the metal and provides tension. Once this is pushed forward you can work the edge over the metalwork taking the tension out of the headliner which makes it easy to drop the rest

Hope I've explained myself ok

Regards Ron

Put a fan heater in the car and get the interior / headliner nice and warm forst - that will allow some stretch to free the cardboard edge to push forward, up and back over the metal roof surround.
