Interior Headliner wrinkle

Ok, so some ******* was dying for a ride in my MINI tonight, and I obliged. While getting out, he grabbed he headliner incorrectly, and put a wrinkle in it, right above the interior B-pillar.

Is there any way to even out the wrinkle without having to buy a new one?

I need extensive instructions on how to remove a headliner with no sunroof on an '02. How much would a new one cost, if I were to get the anthracite?

Some pics:

How does one even do that? All my friends dig their elbo into my seat and wrinkle the leather when they get out. I've never seen anyone grab up there.

Maybe some kind of clothing steamer will get the wrinkle out of your headliner.

Fixed it on my own. The thing was actually grabbed in a way that removed it from the plastic weather strip, so I repositioned it into place, and the crease was instantly depressed. Once I ironed it with my hand for a couple of minutes, the crease was almost completely gone. I still want the anthracite one now though :D
