Dear Car Maintenance Afficionados...

I have a 2001 Honda Civic LX. It has served me well for years and --automotive gods willing-- will do so for many more. My only maintenance complaint however is pictured below:



The covering layer of upholstery is slowly pulling away from the ceiling along the entire back. At the moment, this is merely cosmetic but I don't want it to get any worse; since I generally drive with the AC on rather than the windows open, there isn't much tension on the material from air flow but I should repair this sooner than later.

Does anyone have any advice on how to go about repairing such a thing? I'm guessing some form of fabric glue or adhesive would do the trick... is that so? Is there a particularly good product or brand? Should I leave this sort of thing to the professionals?

Any & all advice is welcome. (On the car issue, that is.)
