Headliner starting to fall...quick fix?

My headliner just started to pull away from the backing the other day. It is doing it right in front of where the seat belts go into the roof on both sides. Is there any way to fix this without destroying anything or paying an arm and a leg to fix it? Thanks

Matt

this topic has been beaten to death on this board, check out this post, has a few links for replacing the headliner yourself, it's not very hard, and it's much cheaper than buying a new one

take the little bezels around the seatbelts where they go into the headliner off and spray spray adhesive between the fabric and backing then stick the material to the backing.

what you should do until you can get it fixed is use thumbtacks the flat one its kinda a ghetto way to do it but it would only be till you could fix it

just do it right, you can use 3M super 77 at most places like wal-mart or home depot and the fabric at must fabric stores or an auto upholstery shop. just make sure you let the adhesive tack up for at least 20 minutes before you apply the foam, otherwise it'll just sag worse.
