Headliner falling

The headliner is falling down in my car. Should I try to re-glue it or just buy a new headliner. If I had to put a new headliner in, how hard would it be? Thanks

If you're short on money, peruse the wrecking yards in your area. Sometimes you can find junked vehicles that have good headliners (new ones are a bit pricey).

I haven't had to change a headliner myself, but I think you mainly have to unfasten the trim panels that border the headliner, and then it comes off.

I don't know if this is completely true but I herd that if you smoke that it might weaken the bond of the glue that holds up the headliner. Just my 2 cents worth.
