My Notch headliner is like this too, but then I didn't have the OE one to 
look at before hand, as it was already removed before I got the car. I also 
didn't use vinyl for the headliner either, so I guess it's custom. : )

 Might not be a bad idea, as there really isn't much on them is there. And if 
you took pictures, then that would help the reading impaired (the visual type 
of people).

I'll bet, sounds like you had a full day just trying to keep the glue from 
hardening before you were ready. :O
