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.)

bandaid?

ESPECIALLY the bandaids with pretty pictures on 'em. In my house (ok, ok, in my teaching lab) you'd have a choice of Harry Potter or Winnie-the-Pooh.

Speaking of Winnie-the-Pooh, did you see this one from "Worst Bookcovers Ever"?

oh dear. what were they thinking? (well, they WEREN'T, clearly).

I'm a great fan of Winnie-the-Pooh, and all the gang from the Hundred-Aker Wood. But you notice how I referred to the Bear of Very Little Brain.

I always liked The Rifleman, but didn't know why until now.
