A couple of years ago I decided to try to replace my headliner. It was tight but had a couple of holes in it. When I pulled it down it was full of stuff from the mice that had been living there. I mean Tall kitchen garbage can worth of stuff. When I tried to replace it it looked horrible, wrinkles, sags etc. I got mad and pulled it down and threw it in storage. Well since I now have some time & no money I figured I'd try again. These pics are from todays attempt to get it tight. Pretty poor but I figure after a day or two the wrinkles from being in storage will fade & I can re-strech to make it better. It's better than the bare roof & Dynomat but it still stinks. I'll see what I can do with it as I have more time. Any tips for tightening it would be appreciated.

Don, did you ever get your headliner fixed up? The back pass. side corner of mine is sagging, and it's driving me crazy. Hoping I can fix it w/o having to redo the whole thing!

I tried a spray bottle with water, a heat gun, letting it sit it the heat we had a few weeks back etc. It didn't do much. I plan to start over and take lots of pics this time. I hope it goes better.
