I used a spreader with cloth over it to keep it flat and it looked great when I did it.
However, the repair has not lasted and now looks pretty bad, wrinkled, separating, etc.
So, what options does one have to have a nice looking headliner?
1 can the original be made to adhere and look good?
2 does it need to be replaced with cloth, etc?

Would like your comments from those experiencing this issue.
thanks

Steve,

The vinyl material separates from the backing material because the foam that backs the vinyl has deteriorated over time. This is what happens with every headliner of this type eventually. The only solution is to remove the board, clean it off and install new material as shown in the pics above.
