Default FIX C5 Headliner

How do I go about fixing or repairing my C5 Z06 Headliner?
I've had the car for a year now and its already began to sag. No I dont have a garage. ...I usually drive the car with my windows down due to the tint being to dark ....I use the car only on weekends.

I found this site but wondering if someone has any other suggestions:

Ive also seen this done to hood linears and thats why I was wondering if I had another option, rather than replacing the material.---

Thxs in Advance.

Just go to Jo-Anns fabrics, pick up some headliner material with the foam backing, get some 3M spray adhesive at parts store, and go to town. Done both of my Fieros and they came out great.
I'm sure your Z will be even easier....no sunroof to trim around.

yeah, ive done that too. When I got my 99' Camaro RS the headliner was bad so I bought the material from Jo-Ann fabrics and a can of 3M spray adhesive (make sure its the high strength one). I too it off and simply applied it on. It wasnt hard, the only problem I had was doing the T-top area correctly but if you are doing your vette then that shouldn't be an issue.

Actually, all headliner material has foam backing on it. It is a VERY thin layer.
Let us know how it turns out.......with pics!
