headliner recovering

[David Pertuz]

Really? I would have thought that it would come out fine, if with
difficulty due to its unwieldiness, once you took out all of the upper
interior trim and maybe also the seats so that you could rassle it through
one of the doors. The only car with which I have even indirect experience
was my mom's old '94 Accord, many years ago, in which the dealer replaced
the headliner under warranty.

On another headliner-related note, is there any hope for re-sticking
headliner fabric that has pulled away and having it look OE? The interior
of my Accord is immaculate save that, inexplicably (it was a FL car, but
always garaged) the headliner has pulled away from the two rear corners
near the passengers' heads. It's annoying.
