Headliner problem

Ok I got a really annoying problem where my whole headliner started sagging recently...What's the best and fastest way to fix this?

Replace it. Once it starts to sag, there is no repair for it.

Do a search for all the DIY options. In my case I didn't want do it myself and had it done by Pro. It now looks just the same as the original factory look. Whatever you choose its your time and money. Just stay away from those cheap plastic headliners.

abs headliner, 150 bucks

never have to worry about your headliner falling apart again

you can still cover it in fabric if you want that look

headliner in my car was gone when i bought it...my interior is black and grey..I found a headliner at a junkyard for $25 but it was red so i got it and went to parts store and bought 6 cans of vinyl/fabric spray dye and dyed it black(just because im a do it my selfer)and i replaced it by my self...just be careful of the clips in the front above the rear viev that hold the liner there they slide out sideways and will tear your liner if you pull down on them...it took me about 45 mins to replace mine by myself(best if you get a friend to help)just a fun project
