My 92 Ex had the fiberglass board, so I'm not sure what your second gen has.
What I did was use a wire wheel attachment on a drill and very slowly and cautiously grind the foam off. It worked well for me and the suede headliner I put in is still holding up well. This was only last year, so time will tell how it holds up.
Starting to grind away:
this board is very very fragile!
All done:
You can see I burned through in a few spots with the wire wheel, but the suede material with foam backing is somewhat forgiving and it isn't noticeable.
New material laid on:
Material glued/stretched/shaped on:
From there I cut out holes, pulled the material back and glued the edges down.
I'm very satisfied with how mine came out!

I also have a 92 ford explorer, XLT with sunroof and it is also missing its headliner board. Anyone know of a source for replacement? If not that, anyone know what years headliners will fit my 92 configuration? Thanks!
to see it.

@Jason94sport, "is this thing on?"
Quite a few how to cover your headliner videos on Youtube these days

Yeah I'm still here...LOL
I don't own that X any longer. It was a headliner. Nothing special. They did use some thicker material that held much better then the thin junk Ford used.
