i just did a suede headliner in a 2007 tahoe. the dips and curves were severe but heres a tip for ya.... when you get the suede take the backing off of it (this will allow the material to stretch alot more and then you can get it in all the cervices) also dont spray your glue to wet cuz itll soak thru with the backing removed. ill try to upload this pic for ya.

Here's mine I did about 2yrs ago, it was my first time and it took me about a day and a half because I didn't have a garage at the time. It really wasn't that hard with the curves and like SSmurdered said don't spray it on too wet or it will soak thru.

Ignore the tan visor, I took this pic before it was all finished.

I used the 3M adhesive spray in a can. I forgot the exact name of it but I think it said 90 something on the can. I was scared after I did it because I thought with the temperatures changing in the summer/winter it would come off and start sagging or something but like I said that was 2yrs ago and I haven't had a problem.
BTW, I just put the suede on over the tan headliner that was already on there with no issues.
