Headliner around sunroof warped.

Any ideas on how to repair this without replacing the headliner? It's in near perfect condition except for the area around the sunroof.

If its an FB (81+) then its a 1-piece foam unit which is prob impossible to get right since its pre-formed. 79-80 SA is an Old School sheet of vinyl with strut bows across, and a good auto trim shop could prob tighten it up it you are reluctant to try yourself…

It's an 84, and it is a one piece headliner. It looks like it's made of thin pressboard and foam. I was considering soaking it and strapping tie-downs to it while it dried, but afraid of staining the headliner. When I bought the car in 87 I tried gorilla glue and it held only for a short time.

don't soak it, you will ruin the pressboard. Try to get access to a steamer to soften it up.

Thanks for the advice. Didn't soak it. I'm just going to leave well enough alone.
