sagging roof liner

[sdewitt at stx.rr.com]

Remove the headliner, then purchase the material. It usually costs 3-4
dollars per linear foot. There are a few colors that are a very close
match. I use 3M scotch grip adhesive. You can also get more expensive
fabric with foam that won't break down, but the cheaper alternative
should last 10+ years.
