About a month ago the headliner near the back windshield started coming loose. It is annoying to see the fabric flaping in the breeze when the windows are down.
Does anyone know what product I should get to attempt to repair it? I doubt if Elmers glue will work. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

I used staple gun on 95, now it looks like the 2000 needs it. Not very professional but who looks up there anyway & if its not seen in the rear view I'm happy. This ones just starting to come loose so if I get it now, at least the edges might stay intact.

Any spray adhesive will work, for a time. But its best to redo the whole thing.

Mine is starting to do the same Walter... I plan to remove mine and redo it..

BTW, good to see you still kicking Boss... Been a while..

Hey Don, Yeah, it's been awhile. Still kicking, just getting older. . We should find out who actually installed the headliner when the cars were assembled and give them a good tongue lashing.

Mine is still holding up just fine! :O I'm dreading the day it starts to come down.

It's sad to see mine doing this, i sprayed adhesive on it and about 4 days later it has all came back down and is spreading through the whole car. :(

You cant just pull the liner off and reapply spray adhesive. Most of the time this happens because the foam backing degrades rather than an issue with the adhesive. This can be seen if you press on the headliner and it creates an indent permanently or for a long while. So spraying over that degraded foam just leads to it coming down again in a week or so.

1. To do this job right, start by going to local craft or fabric shops and finding pre-foam backed fabric that matches your interior (you can probably order online as well if you need a larger variety of colors) get a size about 2 to 3 inches larger, all the way around, and pick up some spray adhesive.
2. Next you need to pull the headliner (the whole thing, fiberboard/cardboard backer and all)
3. Pull the fabric off of the backer board and pitch it.
4. Brush off all the old foam (a softer brush is advised to keep from tearing up the backer surface too much but some areas may be a little tougher to get clean and a stiff brush is needed).
5. Apply the spray adhesive as directed and lay on the foam backed fabric (helps to have a second set of hands) and work out any wrinkles. After the interior side is done, apply adhesive to edges and roll the excess up over (you will need to cut the corners for it to lay flat) and onto the backer board.
6. Cut an X from corner to corner of large holes in backer and just puncture at small holes.
7. Reassemble and your done, enjoy not feeling the headliner flap around your head while driving with the windows down.

You can also buy fabric/headliner screws at any fabric store or even pep boys. The are clear and cork screwed the heads are flat screw them right into the headliner at various points and bam quick fix.
