Stick a needle thru it, and squirt some adhesive in there. Either that, or take it down, strip it off, re-glue it, reinstall.... Yeah, that sounds like fun......

Pull the headliner and place it cloth side up. Put a piece of plywood or something flat on the bubble and place some weight on it. If that doesn't work, a razor blade can cut it and you can spray some adhesive into the opening. Otherwise you need to pull and reglue the fabric.
