GoWesty does it, and any upholstery shop will too.  You can install a headliner yourself, GW sells the material and spray glue.

Vacuuming won't do much, it takes bleach cleaning using an upholstery cleaning machine to rinse, unless you take it off and put it on saw horses.  In the van you need to cover everything with painter's plastic including the canvas.  

The fuzz is there to prevent condensation and dripping, and if you scrape and paint it you will get condensation when you sleep in it at lower temps, so gluing in a headliner is best.

I'd like to see what others have done to remove and refinish the interior.
Anyone sewn up headliner for the purpose?
