Well I finally pulled the trigger and got my headliner redone in the suburban. While it was down I cleaned the interior of the roof and installed a sound deading mat and some thermal backing as well. Everything turned out really well until I went to install the large cover that goes over the rear AC unit. It has several screws that hold onto the front of it. My old headliner was so bad that I cannot tell from the tear pics where these screws go into. Does anyone have pictures of those screws and where they mount to? I would prefer not to have to take my headliner back down just to see how they attach. TIA.

Attached are some pics of the process. Really happy with how everything turned out!!

I had to hunt with a pic until hole is found to give me an idea where to put the screw. Factory just made sure it would hit the brace and put them in(self tappers)

Thanks yevgenievich., I will be working on it again this week to get the cover installed. The local upholstery company that I had redo the headliner did not cut the fabric away for the mounting screws on the outside edge. I had to cut that away to make the screws fit. In the mean time I started tearing into the tailgate window and motor.
