headliner question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Any suggestions for fixing a sagging headliner? I understand it may not be fixable and if not what model years will work for donating a replacement? Thanks.

Cheap fix, 3M super spray adhesive or something fairly simular. Expensive fix, take to upholstery shop to have redone. Another cheap fix is to find junkyard S10 same cab style and swap in, if colors are different can dye material to match. Good Luck.

The cheap fix I used was my staple gun...

I heard that spray glue wouldn't hold and the fabric would pull loose again.

Back to part of the first question, am I looking for a donor vehicle model years 85-91?

I've got a '89.
