Default Top interior falling

The roof interior is 'falling' and making that ugly bubble in the middle of my roof. Is there an easy fix for this?

Happened to me, too. On a whim, I checked an auto upholstry shop here in town. Cost me $150 + tax and two days' driving topless . Worth it to me.

FYI... I understand if a part of that headliner comes undone, it could turn into a blizzard of dead glue stuff inside...

If you don't mind being 'tacky', you could try appropriate colored thumb pins. Or you could just drop the $1500 on the clear top...

I've done headliners before, and these look relatively easy compared to ones with bows and such. fwiw, mine needs it too, the foam in it is so aged the the hand prints don't back out...

All you need is enough material to cover the top, a can of 3M spray adhesive and about 25 minutes. Anyone who can't replace a C4 Corvette headliner needs to sell it and buy a 54 VW.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

Go to Pepboys and get a roll of material and a can of spray glue.Remove the old material,start from the center and work out.Just don't use to much glue or you will get hand prints.the roll is ment to do a full size car so if you mess it up you will have enough to do it again
