They sell little headliner pins but that is kinda cheesy. You can buy the spray on glue and reglue it Its in can and you spray both sides

Basically.

Or take it to an upholstery shop and see what they can do. I had to do that with my Silverado about a year 1/2 ago. Sub $100 to fix.

stockinteriors.com has abs plastic headliners for 150 without carpet 170 with your choice of color carpet. then you won't have to deal with that crappy cardboard headliner, glue, and cutting material.

I would try and find one from a totalled car, or check eBay, people sell them all the time for $25-$50.

If you don't want to do that get some 3M spray. Spray the back of the headliner lightly, then spray the headliner panel. Let it set for a few minutes, then press together.

The 3M spray is a "contact" cement. You let it dry for a few minutes on both surfaces, then they will stick together really well. I did this to my son's '94 Grand Prix and it worked great.

It's the way to go if you're on a tight budget. (or what I call cheaping-out!)

if you take the headliner to an interior shop they will just use the pot glue if they dont replace the whole headliner, probly be better of just doing it yourself

Just redo the whole thing. It's really not that hard to do, the hardest spots are the curves on where the t-tops are
