you can take some fabric glue and pull it tight and hope it stays, it may only be a quick fix though, its alot of work to pull the whole headliner down..

I had the same problem...
right where the windshield meets the headliner...SUX

I got some industrial spray headliner adhesive from the auto parts store, I sprayed it in a cup and brushed it on because of the location, I didn't want any overspray.....D O N O T U S E this product!! I repeat do not use this product.
It looks horrible and I was so careful when doing it. It absorbed through the material, and looks like shit. Use regular fabric glue from the fabric store. It works much better. T R U S T M E

they have these things that are clear plastic hooked to a corkscrew that your supposed to be able to hook them through the fabric those are pretty effective. Unless you want it to look perfect :icon_question:

I'm just too darn CDO (darnit it should be alphabetized) I'm gonna have to yank that puppy outta the ceiling and put new fabricfoamywhachamacallit on there.. If I went the clear peg route, they'd all have to be symmetrical or I couldn't drive the sucker anymore LOL.. get one out of place and I'd have to go get a new Xterra.. Can't afford that so.... *sigh* Glad I found this thread!

When I bought my of course it was used but it suffered from the same thing but worse. I had found me a guy that does upholstery in his garage so I got with him. Since I did the labor and took out the headliner and visors he did the headliner for 50 and the visors for 20. It was the best 70 I spent.
