Default T-Top question

Is there any thing you can do to the headliners to flatten them out so they fit tight to the t- tops? Mine curl down on the sides a little, I would like to fix them I have not pulled them off yet to see what the backing is made of. If it is like ABS or if it is some kind of fibber board. I thought if they could put on a flat surface and add so weight and heat the back and fix the sides. I would hate to buy new one because these look good.
Thanks for the help.
Larry

I can tell you what I did. Took them off and placed them on a flat surface
With the fiber board back facing up. Placed weight on the back side and used
My wife's steam iron to steam the back until the face was level.
Worked for me.

Donnie thanks a lot for the information, I was hopping for something that would fix them because like I said in the post they really look good and are the original ones that came on the car. Would like to save money where I can.
Thanks again Donnie
