Default Sagging headliner - fixed.

Thanks to all my corvette forum brothers for your help and advice for my sagging headliner. Special thanks to the two forum members that took extra time to P.M. me with special advice. However what I did was get a can of 3M spray glue and I went at the job. I spred the targa top on a old bed spred on my hot tub and went at the job I managed to pull the cloth out of the frame except for the front side and then cleaned of the old glue from the foam and the cloth. I masked of the frame and then sprayed two or three coats of glue on the foam. With the help of my sweetypie we stretched the old cloth and patted it back on the foam with a big sponge that was still wrapped in plastic. The job turned out 99.9 perfect and I am 100% satisfied with the results. The cost of the glue was $15.17 And I used about $3.00 worth of the can. I forgot to say that I used a old tool that was used to take of door and window cranks back in the 1950,s that was perfect to tuck the cloth back into the frame. Well as I am not smart enough to send all this info with pictures to back up this story so you must take my word on how the job turned out. I hope this helps my forum brothers with this story.
