That's what I use on my cars as well.

I'd like to replace the dome light, which means the headliner has to come at least partially off.
Since all the holes are where they should be, would it mean it's not a lot of bother to put the headliner back once the new dome light and wires have been installed?
I'm feeling a little optimistic here, just wondering if that might be a bit overly optimistic?

You can replace the dome light without disturbing the headliner. Pop the lense off and there are two screws there, Then you can pull it down a bit and undo the connector to it through a hole that is in the headliner.

I just installed my headliner last weekend with help from a friend and just realized I forgot about the metal piece with the teeth in this pic. Sail panels are on and I see where this piece goes and realize that the rear panel screws to it but what are the teeth for?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I want to replace both the dome light and the old wires so I can have new wires all over.

The teeth brackets on the side hold the head liner down on the sides.  Just like the teeth in the front window area and around the back.

I would like to add that Cuda and Challenger are completely different. Cuda pictured below.

Hmm. My headliner from legendary didn't hang down that far. I just glued it to panels on both sides. Hope I didn't screw something up..

Headliners are pretty easy.  They're main function is to look good and as long it looks good, I'm sure it's fine.   :alan2cents:

Just to be clear, the orange car above is a Challenger.  The headliner in a Challenger goes all the way down to the rear interior panels.  A Cuda headliner doesn't go down that far and uses a vinyl wrapped sail panel in that area.

Ok I feel better now. Didn't make sense and now I know. Thanks Burdar.  :banana:
