Default Re-Fitting roof lining

Hi all,
took my roof lining out to inspect the sunroof and all is well, has anyone got any tips on refitting as it looks alot harder than taking out? Will it go back in perfect? i.e. no sagging etc or should I expect minor imperfections? Would taking the windows out make it easier?

It is alot easier to do it with the windows out, its a nightmare with them in, When I done mine I used duck tape to get it tight on all the edges, fitted the door surround seals to hold it in place, then fitted the front and rear windows last, it is hard to get it perfect thou

when i done mine it all went on perfectly apart from one corner, where it was keep causing a crease..in the end i used a hair dryer to warm it up while i pulled it tight ang tape it to the window aperture..i cant see how you could remove or refit it without butchering without taking the glass out, as the headlining is taped under the rubber..
