I think the only person that has removed/refitted the headliner is MikkiJayne, but I don't recall if there was a thread documenting it.

I don't think anyone has attempted re-gluing it.

According to the following PDF, starting at page 239, the headliner can't/shouldn't be removed as a single piece as it 'may deform the roof'. Not sure why this warning is printed in the PDF, as others have done it successfully themselves:
