Vanquish Headliner separation

Hello everyone. Looking for some guidance on my Vanquish headliner. Looked up the other day and noticed my headliner has dropped down. I live on Long Island ,NY and was wondering if anyone knows of a good shop to handle this. For headliner removal the manual says the windshield and a lot of trim has to be removed and as such want to go to someone that has done this.

Aston 36 website has a DB9. In one of his links I believe he replaced the headliner. Removing the windshield was not necessary. You might want to look there for some guidance.

Thanks for your input. I’ll take some measurements as the vanquish is wider than the DB9.

Thanks everyone for your input. I will probably make this a winter project.

Has anyone with a Vanquish successfully stitched back up the seam that has to be punctured on the trim piece that runs from the A-pillar to the back?
I had a shop fix my headliner, but the 4 seam holes on each side look terrible. Factory manual says to glue them, but the shop thinks they're too stiff. My trim is very light, so the holes are very noticeable and they need to correct this.

Mine was about $2k through a local shop. No need to remove windshield - comes out through the door.
Headliner looks good now. They kept the original leather. After cleaning surfaces, they re-applied new foam and glue.
However, the trim pieces still look like crap. We haven't figured out how to get the seams tighter but will try to address when the weather gets warmer. To remove the trim pieces, you have to puncture through the seam to get to the mounting hardware, then clamp and reglue(according to the factory manual). The fabric is incredibly tight with no clear way to clamp the seam to reglue. So I'm spending some time thinking about how to go about this. On black trim, you probably wouldn't notice, but I have a light Tuscan Tan interior (Kobi Bronze exterior).
