Hate to be "that guy" but if you don't know, it could be a costly and expensive mistake. You'll start by reclining the seats and taking the seatbelts off the pillars. You'll need to drop all the trim from the beltline up and remove the visors and rearview mirror. They're electric and will need to come out to remove the headliner. The headliner board is usually fiberglass and once bent and broken will never look right again. The rear vanity lights and front overhead console need to be removed and then you can begin to lower the panel down. It might be adhered to the steel ribbing as well. Once the board is down you will need to get out of the car and begin turning and gently wiggling the headliner out of the vehicle. Usually the passenger front door. Did I mention it's fiberglass? Yeah, be prepared to have itchy arms and eyes. Definitely a job for an experienced and patient expert. Good luck.

I miss whitey here
It is a booger to get out the front door, I had to pull the center console out
Might be easiest with the front glass out
If it's hail related, just drop it down and leave it in the car

Headliner is glued in..... it's a blast to remove!
If you're not careful, you'll dimple the roof.
I took the whole interior out.
I carefully removed it through the rear door.
