i got mine out the passenger front door recline the seats right back.
If you get the right glue nice sharp stanley blade and a clean dry sponge it's easy.
1) remover roof lining
2) rip of old cloth
3) remove any loose old sponge (i brushed all mine off with a stiff coconut hair broom)
4) spray roof lining with high temp glue and leave for about 30 seconds
5) gently lay your new cloth onto the roof lining
6) press the new cloth down with the dry sponge this stops it getting finger inprints in the cloth.
7) once the cloth has been worked into all the corners etc trim it leaving about 50mm excess to fold round the back
8) re fit it the habdles sunvisors will help hold it all in place too.
about an hour and half tops.
But to answere your question i think 220 is a bit steep.
If you don't want to do it your self i would get autoflock(trader on here) to flock it, it will never sag again. If mine sags again i'm gonna get mine flocked.
do search on here about flocking it there was a thread a few weeks ago about it.

Nice one just had a read thru that not sure about getting it flocked tbh as I don't think the finish would be as nice as a tight cloth finish but the thing that puts me of about doing it myself is trying to remove the fecking thing then there's the what if I break something

There are pro's and cons to both methods, ultimatly flocking would give the best finish, but the prices above seem very very reasonable, you need to make sure the adhesives being used are correct in terms of durability and temp. I alot of adhesives loose their properties when subjected to a bit of heat, although they regain them once cooled down it is too late when they have delaminated from the roof.
If you do try yourself, test the glue on another object and see what the viscosity is like of it, if its too thin let it flash off a bit till its more of a tack consistency, this will remove the risk of print through, believe me its so easy to bugger up a job right at the last minute, you could lay down the majority of the roof then right at the end the glue could be a tad too wet and print through the fabric. And I can tell you the colourfull language generated from such an incident is shocking!!
