Especially with the visors in you're probably the only one who will ever notice it.

Is the headliner vinyl or cloth?
It looks vinyl in your photographs.
But if it's cloth you can shrink wrinkles out by spraying them lightly with water.johnboy

Some of the wrinkles will go away the first time it's baked in the sun..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

It's vinyl. It actually looks like it's shrunk a little and tightened up in a few spots over the last few days.1 Corinthians 1:27

I've seen guys spray water on vinyl and then heat it with a heat gun to get the wrinkles out. It looks really nice though. I've put one in and I never thought it was going to look decent. It was a good learning experience. Haha
Does the place you got your carpet from make it for other years? Forgive me if you made it. I can't remember if you did or not.Ryan

Yeah, they do. It was really reasonably priced, fit well, and looks to be pretty well made. Here's where I got it:

Boil the kettle and then hold it up under where the creases are and allow the steam from the pourer gentle warm the vinyl. That is how most auto upholsterers do it when I have watched them. It is looking good though and you have accomplished a nice job on fitting the trim.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
