Headliner FIX?

Does anyone know how to fix a headliner (T-Tops) without sending all the money to buy a new one?

if you're just talkin about redoing the material, my friend just did it to his. He peeled off the old fabric and found some the same color backed with about 1/8" of foam from the fabric store and just reattached it with some 3M adhesive spray and pulled it tight to keep it from getting wrinkles

I just did the one in my 87 Z with T tops, comes out like new. a few hints. 3M is good, but the shop that sells you the material should be able to give you strnger contact cement. second, dont cut the fabric until you have all corners covered so as not toleave wrinkles, and finally, cut a carboard box into strips, and wrap rubber bands around the headliner and cardboard as a load bearer.
