Okay part number is 8507K67 and I ordered 10 ft of it at $1.50 per foot.
Here is the link: http://www.mcmaster.com/#trim-molding/=irezb7
It's the last one under rubber edge trim style 5, was a perfect fit and perfect length!

Did you use a hand held roller to lay down the material? When I think of a roller, I think of the tool you would use to put on DynaMat.
I went to the website you posted to source the material. Can you tell me what size kit you purchased? http://www.yourautotrim.com/suheki1.html

Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to help us out so that we possibly don't run into any issues or delays doing this mod.

Here is link to their bulk headliner fabric: http://www.yourautotrim.com/suheobl.html
Also you can order a sample card from them to see and feel the fabric before you purchase for $1.50: http://www.yourautotrim.com/pusuhech.html

Sunroof shade I am in the process of recovering the headliner and have become stuck on trying to remove the sunroof shade to reupholster it. How do you take the shade out? The pillar post covers and headliner are already out.

Please be aware that the product advertised by that site, while adequate for most uses, is not as durable (by a factor of 10, as it turns out) as alcantara. Padded alcantara costs about $105 per yard. It should not fade in applications exposed to UV, unlike microsuede.

No. But when I bought the couch for my home theater, I was able to examine various types of suede, and found that the difference in look and feel between quality suede and cheap suede was remarkable.
I'm not trying to crap on anybody's work here. It seems to me that the real expense here is the time necessary to disassemble the interior and apply the material. So while quality material is ten times as expensive, the cost delta is not significant. And since you're in such intimate contact with the material when you're driving the car, the added cost is doubly worth it.
