Dear Car Maintenance Afficionados...

[bjarvis]

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.)

A headliner isn't such a big deal to replace. You can actually have the honda folks do it, if you wish. Replacing the headliner is not that expensive, although automotive double stick tape will work as a patch.
