Sometimes they are salvagable. Just depends on how bad it is. I'm not sure what to use to repair it but I would definitely give it a shot before getting a new one. If the spot is big enough, you may have to peel away the liner from the spot to the edge and apply adhesive this way so that you dont end up with two small sags. Kind of a roll it to the edge so there are no air bubbles kind of thing. Just my .02 Cents.
When they sag , it is due to the foam deteriorating . You may be able to spray some adhesive in there , but it will most likely soak through the fabric.. I have to fix mine too, its getting bad...
I had mine redone at a upholstery shop. Came out OK but the place I went to must have changed hands. I'm not real pleased with it but its OK. A big headliner like yours if this shop did it would probably be $500.00 conservatively. If you did the R&R.
I've seen pins (best description) at auto parts store that hold up the material so it doesn't get worse. Or so they say.
Of course that is here in gouge land. Up your way it would probably be much cheaper.
Finding a reputable shop is the hard part. I don't like to let anyone I don't know/trust do ANYTHING to my truck, even if its just gluing the fabric back to the foam on my headliner
AGREED. Ever since I started working on vehicles for myself, there are very few people I trust with it! I would just try to get it looking half way normal for now until you REALLY need a new liner, then put one in.

Oooooohh then I could do a custom color... maybe pink for my kiddos
I did my own. Pulled it out of the truck, scraped everything off, bought headliner material from a fabric shop, bought spray adhesive. Only cost me about $20 total.
yes, very difficult. When I did some research on it it said to take out the back glass and pull it out that way. I ended up twisting it around and pulling it out the back door somehow. I don't even know how I got it out really... or back in.
