Parts, Foam, heavy duty 3M headliner spray, material, plastic body tool (can buy set from harbor freight), masking tape-1/4 to 1/2 wide.
1) The material is hanging down, because the foam is probably dissenter grating. Had it happen to me, noticed that fingerprints and indentations were not popping back out...........
2) So this is my fix, I originally brought some black headliner, on starting to work on it. I found out that the liner and foam are simply cut to fit, there is no taking apart anything, just carefully pull down the whole thing.
3) I brought a piece of 1/4 high density foam and while at the fabric shop saw a good piece of black quilted material, thought that would look cool.
4) Now the original is toast, so use it as a template, cut the foam to size, cut the material so that it will wrap around and tuck under a little under the the original that you pulled off ( a little bigger than the foam).
5) Put a larger blanket or other soft material on your garage floor, because you are going to place the top on it to work on it.......If you noticed, GM did not have glue around the immediate edges of the foam board, so therefor you can put the masking tape close to the frame and use newspaper or other paper protect the frame from the glue. (if you get glue on the frame, do not use goof off or other petroleum based remover, cause GM chose to use a cheap black paint and it will come off too)
As per instructions, spray the roof panel and the back of the foam. When ready pull up the masking tape and put down the foam, smoothing it out to the edges as you go. Don't worry about the non glue area. Now redo the masking tape and protection around the frame, spray the other side of the foam and the material that you are going to put down, after drying, carefully center it and start putting it down from the center out. As you get to the edges you are going to use the flat edge plastic tool to to push that extra 1/8 to 1/4 inch of material under the frame. Sorry I did not take pictures of the process.
That's all folks. Hope this helps.......................
These are your only options, unless you can find someone selling a pristine one, that or have an upholstery shop recover. I removed mine and took it to a local place that only charged me a hundred bucks, they did a real good job.

I did mine in about 45 minutes and a spray can of 3M adhesive at a cost of $3.99

I went that route but the heat in Florida had it sagging within 3 months. Tried it again, making sure to clean all old adhesive from the targa and the board, but still came loose again. Had local shop put new one in for $75. Going on a year and a half still doing fine.

LOL, wish mine had been that easy and cheap. I was going to fix it, but saw extensive water damage from leaking weather strip after I removed it. The headliner ended up it needing backing material added and recovering etc.
