Headliner Question?
The headliner on my targa top is sagging. How is it attached to the roof? I want to remove it and stretch it and reinstall it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

What I did was take a flathead screw driver and carefully hedged it in between the styrofoam headliner and pryed it away from the top. The actual cloth of the headliner inself can be easily peeled from the styrofoam backing. Before installing the new fabric, the old glue must be rubbed off the backing. New specific headliner material can be purshaced at any fabric store. I actually found beige headliner material that matched my interior and used 3M spray adhesive and applied it to the headliner fabric and then to the syrofoam.

Hey there Mr. Futs,
Thanks for your reply. What holds the styrofoam to the roof? I'm afraid I'll crack it. Also, did you reuse the styrofoam or did you go with new a new sheet? Thanks Again.

Well, you could either use double sided tape or velcro to hold the syrofoam to the top. I, on the other had, didn't have to use neither and it holds fine.
here's a pic:
