Sagging Headliner Advice
The headliner on my '96 single cab has finally started to sag. Does anyone have any tips on how to remove & repair? It isn't so bad right now, but when it gets humid out it tends to sag more, so I'd just like to attack this now and be done with it. Thanks in advance for any input!

I googled this and found a guy on the F150 forum that had pictures of his and how he did it.
It's really simple. I need to do it as well to my '95, F150, Eddie Bauer, ext. Cab.
I'm hoping to get it done before winter.

I did one on an F150 I sold a few months ago. I went to a headliner supply shop here in town and bought the material for like $35. Then I bought a can of 3M Headliner Adhesive Spray. The hardest part is getting the old foam off the headliner board. A trick I found is to spray it with brake cleaner in about a 1' x 1' section and then scrape it off with a large putty knife.

I see the OP has a single cab.
I have a SCAB, I believe that to remove the headliner board without bending it the seats need to be removed first.
I want to say that I saw a post on here where a member with a SCAB actually did it without removing the seats and although he had to bend the board to remove/reinstall, you could not tell after it was all back in place.
Anyone that has done this on a Supercab chime in. I need to do mine at some point

Simple job. Remove trim and screws holding it up, then remove from vehicle. I scraped the foam off, hit it with a sander to get it all, and wiped it clean. JoAnne Fabric had a bolt of the same color foam backed velour that came from the factory for about $20. I also picked up a can of 3M spray adhesive.
Spray the glue, lay material on the base, press and stretch to fit, and let dry. Next day, use a razor knife to trim, and re-install. Easiest update possible...

I've done the material replacement over the OEM fiberglass backer a few times. Problem is, the fiberglass will deteriorate over time too.
Best solution is replace it with an ABS plastic version. I got one on Amazon for around $200.
Between the $13 per can of glue and the $40 or so for the material, the ABS with material already glued on was only about $100 more.

I've done this on a '95 years ago. I gently pulled the old material off and then used Isopropol alchohol to break down the adhesive, and scraped off the mushy adhesive with a putty knife, but can also use a single blade razor blade. Let it dry really good overnight and use the better 3M adhesive spray to install new material. At the time, I bought the material from one of the car parts chains, but don't know if they would still carry the stuff.
