Default Roof Skin Removal

What does it take to remove the skin of the roof, I want to replace it because it is damaged but I couldn't find how to do it.
Any Advice?

Does not come off, but if your roof is dented, dent removal companies will typically remove the headliner to pop from the inside.

I'm pretty sure there's a 'How to' floating around if you're talking about the headliner. Use the search (try clicking the little button that singles out thread titles, helps a ton) and if you still don't have any luck let me now and I'll try to find it. On the other hand, if the roof skin is something completely different, disregard this. :P

Like Danny asked are you talking about the head liner or part of the structural roof.

I ended up vinyl wrapping my roof in gloss black to hide some of the scrathes.

I ended up adding more scratches when I test fitted the piece.

You can get it from this site. http://stickercity.com/. Check out there video. You don't have to use soap/water or anything like that. I was thinking to get my roof done with flat black but still afraid.
