    It needs to be warm you need to find the right adhesive .

    Then fabricate a support for the headliner till the adhesive dries .

    This was years ago something I would need big $$$$$ to do again I know all to well why people that do this work charge so much.

    Maybe someone that does this for a living will jump in.

    It’s very possible. Here I have it done in a xtra cab and the main issue I ran into was routing the optics from the headliner into the cab. It’s a very tight area and I couldn’t find a solution givin I didn’t have very much length in the optics. I dont use the rear seats so I removed the whole seatbelt assembly and routed it through the rear seatbelt top mount where the bolt used to go. I’d say it might be easier on a 4 door all together and hiding the motor. Best advice is take your time and MEASURE.
