Use Rhinoliner. I guarantee you won't have problems with a sagging headliner ever again.

LOL. Seriously though, take the whole thing out and bring it to an auto upholstery business in your area.

i managed to find the urban camo i wanted, ordered a couple yards of it yesterday, from everything I've read on it its not hard to do just kind of a PITA and time consuming cuz you have to go slow. as long as you don't cheap out on the glue it should be fine, the upholstery shops around here wanted like between 250-350 to do it when it'll cost me like 50 to do it myself

Get a good adhesive that is made for the type of fabric. make sure you roll around the edges and glue there as well. Notch corners where fabric will be abbout three or four layers thisk or it will not fit weel when you install. (I assume you are putting fabric over original headliner.)
