Interior Fabric Help

So I seem to be having a few problems with the interior fabrics in my car. The fabric on the roof for the T-tops is starting to let go and sag down, also the fabric just in front of the door by the drivers feet has let go all together. Does anyone have any tips? or anything I can use to keep it up?

Thanks, Trent

Re: Interior Fabric Help

If you want to re-cover the headliner,get in contact with 1AAuto & possibly Hawks. I know 1A has material to let ppl re-cover headliners.
I believe you can find tips on re-covering & maybe fixes for the sag by doing a search on "headliners" but IDK.You'll probably get answers from ppl who have done this type of thing.Good luck with it!

{edit}
OOPS-I see you're not in the States--
Try any upholstry shop if it's too expensive to ship the material to you from the USA

Re: Interior Fabric Help

You can use just about any material that suits you ro redo the headliner or anything else. I recovered my headliner in a fabric that is more like velour tha headliner stuff - I looked at the headliner material at the auto parts stores, and didn't like it, so I went to the fabric shop and got something I liked. Just use a good headliner glue and follow the directions for it, and it should be fine.
