Hi guys, I know many of us have had a sagging headliner issue, so here's how i went about repairing it on my car.

Tools needed:
screwdrivers
wire brush
fabric
headliner spray adhesive

First start taking off the sun visors, clips, dome light, handles and hooks that are screwed into the headliner.

These clips can be turned 90 degrees and pop off:

Take off the pillars, these are held by clips.

The headliner should now pull out toward the windshield and out through the passenger door.

You should now have this:

Peel off the fabric being left with this:

you will need a wire brush to remove the foam backing so you can install the new fabric.

Once left with the clean board, wipe it of with a clean damp cloth.

I used 3m Headliner adhesive $20 at Oreillys auto store and Black suede for the fabric. You can use special headliner fabric but i picked the suede.

Spray half the headliner and wait a few minutes till its touch dry apply material and spread the fabric with your hands, when done repeat with the other side remembering to leave a few inches to fold over the sides.

when done it should look like this:

Install again the same way as you removed it.

thanks, i hope this helps you do yours!

This is pretty much everything I needed to know; I'll post pics once I've obtained the fabric and gone through with the replacement.

Thanks a ton.

Hey I was going to do this and everything was going well but as I was removing the headliner I realized there was a wire glued along with the headliner. Did you have that as well and if yes how do I take care of that?
