Hi Phil...the 356 Porsche "Technical and restoration guide" has a step by step procedure on page 247 I'm talking about Vol.I, as the Vol. II was released last year...in case you are not familiar with the books, they represent a compilation of the 356 registry magazine's articles (technical articles). The volume I is from 1974 to 1994 and the II from 1994 to 2004...it's a good idea to have both for research...

I did this job following the instructions in the "Tech and ..." It turned out just great. I cannot tell it from a professional installation. I hope your front and rear windows are out. I can't imagine doing it with the windows in place.

Regarding glue, I do not like to use water based products. I realize that they are better for both the atmosphere and our bodies, but I have not had good luck with them. The products I have found best are 3-M weather stripping glue in a tube, commonly called "monkeysnot." It comes in yellow and black with the yellow being more sticky, for some reason. Other good products, but more accomodating are various brands of non-water based contact cements, usually bought in cans of 1/2 pint to one gallon. Use in well ventilated areas and follow the instructions well. Do not rush the glue while it is attempting to set-up.

Maybe I got lucky, but I got the headliner in during one afternoon. I also had the dash out for the front upright posts covers. I did not replace the dome lights after hearing about one of our members having his car burn when another member left the lights on during a concourse inspection. I'd rather not have the points for the inspection.

just remember to LABEL the headliner top bows as you take them out 
Been there done that one....
as mentioned above
dash out (to do the door pillars), 3m spray adhesive works well with 50 or so clothes pins to streach the top (lay it in the sun for an hour or so before starting) the rest is in the tech resto book above.
not to hard just take your time
took me about 3 hours last time (i pretty slow) no need to rush it
