Sunroof in my wife's 2008 Scion Xb needed repair, and the headliner removal step-by-step from All-Data was all i needed to convince me to buy a tube of caulk instead. Estimated labor billing time for the roof liner remove/install was in the 6-8 hour range (by a mechanic, not by an insurance guy!!)

For my 2017 Ford Flex, in order to add the module to add Navigation to the Ford Sync system--i'd have needed to start with removal of the front seats to disassemble the center console, and then if i recall correctly partially disassemble the dashboard to get to the connectors. Part would have been just $300 or $400, but it would have taken a full day to install. All-Data's estimated billing time to swap out that module was 7 or 8 hours as i recall. So i just use a USB cable to connect Google Maps on my phone--and will never need to purchase an update.

Parts are cheap, labor is...well...labor!!
