Whats the best way to repair that small tear? Is there anything I can do about the cracking?
Also, the headliner is original. It has sagged a bit. Can that be fixed? If so, how? | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | "Get back HOJO, get back to where you once belonged" (Beatles 1969.)

Mine is the original and it to is saging. Even so, it's in real nice shape. I would think that the warpage could be flattened out if you wet the material and weight it down for a week or so until it has a chance to completely dry. However, I think the bigger problem is that the material has also shrunk over the years and no matter how flat you get it you can't make it any bigger. And that in my opinion, Can't be fixed.
