If you aren't familiar with upholstery work then I'd leave it to the professionals. Suede isn't cheap and I'd hate to see you ruin some because you didn't know what you were doing.

However if you insist on doing it yourself I'd suggest a quality spray adhesive such as 3M or the like. Spray both the fabric and the headline then lay the fabric on. Stretch to fit and rub firmly to embed fabric.

if I could afford it I would love to have it done proffesionally,
that and I have no idea were to go to get something like this done.
just happen to have seen some post on here were people have done it themselves.
 

If you insist to do it yourself, take your time. Like stated above that material is not cheap, I would use 3M super 77 or higher.

has anyone done this ?
I already know to use the best adhesive and take my time
 

I have but not with suede and not in a Galant. I used an 1/8" thick foam pad then the material over it. To give it that nice from factory look and feel.
