if it's already glued to the backing board then you just have to remove molding, visors, and light then install it. if not then you will need spray adhesive. if you do have to glue it make sure the adhesive sits a bit before you lay down the fabric; let it (the spray adhesive) get tacky first or it will just soak into the fabric and not stick.
