for the headliner I would recomend removing it and laying a couple of strips of 3/4 ounce chop mat on the back of it in order to brace it and holt the propper shape. Then brush on a ton of resin on the back to give it support and plug up the pores of the line. Then flip it over and brush on a lot more resin in order to stop it soaking all the resin up when you lay on the glass. Last lay on either 2 layers of 3/4 ounce mat or cloth. Don't use fleece, it is not strong enough and way too thick and heavy for the head liner. Good luck and post some pics so we can see your progress.
