Headliner fabric starting to detach

The headliner by the front windshield is starting to come off the foam headliner. It's a small portion now but can get worse over time. It's not enough to warrant replacing the whole headliner, so I was wondering what can be a temp solution for now. Hot glue, thumb tacks, tape? I only noticed it because I had the windows down and the wind must have caught the fabric and made it flap around.

I've used this on other vehicles.

You gotta be careful with overspray, and making sure that you stretch out any wrinkles in the material, but it works well for reattaching a saggy headliner. Stuff I've fixed with it has stayed put for 5+ years.

Might have to get. I'll have a lot of left over. I think one single spray would be all I would need to fix. Guess I'll have a lot left over for later.

I took an old Dodge truck to the upholstery shop when it's headliner started doing the same thing. They replaced the entire headliner cheap. It's pretty easy for them to do if the old one is intact and can be used as a template to cut out the new one.
