Default Headliner Repair

Took the headliner material off my targa top. I was careful not to remove the backing and it came off pretty well. quite a bit of it was sagging. My wife went to fabric shop and couldn't find any of the same material. I could use the fabric that was already on there. where could I get similar material and what "glue" would you use to fasten it back on to backing panel? :seeya

I bought some nice new fabric, and removed the old glue residue from the headliner pad. I used spray on glue (Nashua), or 3M also makes it. cut the new fabric to fit and tucked it under the frame of the top.

BUT.. it's about 8 months later, and the headliner is falling again. :smash:

any trim shop can provide the material, about $15-20 plus an aerosol can of 3M glue and its a pretty easy job..
