Default Sagging head liner

Has anyone ever had a sagging head liner in your removable top - and if so how did you fix it?

Peel off carefully, spray on new 3M or Permatex adhesive, tuck the material back into the frame... Repeat again next summer.

I had about 1/3 that was hanging down. I got a can of spray adhesive and used a nozzle with a straw and a small hole in the headlner to spray some around and it is holding up fine. It has only been a couple weeks though. The windows down driving accelerates the sagging.

my headliner is a piece of cardboard velcrowed on with headlining material on it.

it is a piece of cake to change, pull down and pop a new one up.

you cant tell that its cardboard and it fits flush w/ the roof.
