Camaros are notorious for this. My 94 is this way. On my IROCs, I pulled the headliner out and pulled off the fabric so I could get to where it was seperated. I then sprayed it with 3M Spray adhesive and put it all back together. I held until my car was stolen. I was planning on doing the same to my 94.

So, would I need to take it completely off then use the 3M spray adhesive?

When it happened to my TA I replaced the entire thing, ordered a complete head liner from GM, wasnt cheap. How ever, you can go to a reputable upholstry shop and a hard top should only be about 100$ to have recovered. T-tops would be a good bit cheaper, this problem has happened on every single GM car we have owned, happens on a lot of cars actually, glue wears over time, no biggy.

If you are not comfortable in doing it yourself (aka search on how to do it yourself), then get it done at an upholstery shop. $100 is an average price including new fabric.

Yes. It is much easier that way. Just remove teh pillars, then the back panels. Pretty easy.

80 is about in line to do that it is a fair amount of work about a couple of hours give or take.

A buddy of mine has a shop in over here in Liberty he said that he gets about 125, so 80 sounds like a bargin. If you decide to do it yourself, be careful, generally it is not the glue (contact cement) that fails, it is the foam backing and if the backing is gone and you spray contact cement on the head liner it is going to bleed through and look like ****.
