Has anyone ever found a trick or fix for the sagging Grand Wagoneer headliners? They bag down on cold moist mornings, and *sort of* tighten back up again when dry. I do not know how they were originally fastened to the cabin ceiling, but whatever method was used, it doesn't last. I've had this "sagging skirt" issue with all of my Wagoneers. |
package of those little "push pin" things that you can get at an auto
parts store. They're really no different from the push pins you might
see on a cork bulletin board. If you lay the out in an even pattern,
they look okay and you eventually forget they're there.

got a few cardboard wedges reinforced with coathanger/welding
wire.
Redneck right down to my boots type of repair.Thought about what would happen if when it was tight (usually
when temp is high) with a bit of clear coat or starch. Might try that
later since it's impossible to feck it up anymore than it is.

No real way to fix them apart from gluing on a new headliner. Iv'e got a few cardboard wedges reinforced with coathanger/welding wire.

enough to get into the line of vision when I got it. I finally replaced
the whole thing but in the meantime I used a spray can of contact cement.
The can came with a pipe for the nozzle so I just poked it through the
material, sprayed it all around trying to get most of it on the solid top
instead of soaking the cloth. At this point, it is sagging, so let it set
5-10 minutes then press it into place. The newer vehicles have a foam
sheet between the solid form and the cloth. That foam dries and crumbles
and ain't nothing going to re-glue that stuff. The spray contact cement I
used was one of the water-based ones which didn't smell for months when hot
<g>.
