Ok i'm in the middle of installing a lightbar for my FD on a 2003 explorer and i'm slightly stumped. I've gotten to the part of the installation where i'm going to have to remove the headliner but i have no idea what the best way to do it is w/o breaking it. Any links or directions would be greatly appreciated.

There is actually alot of work involved.
Open all doors and the hatch
Pull off the A pillar trim and pull the weatherstip down halfway both sides
Remove dome lamps and visors and console if equipped (DVD player?)
Unbolt the tops of the seatbelts under covers (T50 torx) on B pillars
Unhook B pillar trim and door weatherstrips halfway down
Go to back and remove C pillar trim/ seatbelt tops/ dome lamps etc
Remove hand grab bars and clothes hooks (insert standard screwdriver and twist to unlock).
Make sure you have help so you don't break it.
Hope this helps.
