| Over the years I tried gluing mine many times. Never worked for very long. The real problem is the material that the cloth is glued to. It keeps coming apart and dropping the cloth. I finally gave up and bought an ABS headliner. No more problems and really looks good. |

brandon is absolutly right. i managed to fix my foam one, however i put "fiberglass" sheets over it to solve the foam issue. all in all i spent close to $100 pluss a bunch of time. i think the ABS ones are 200. i would go that route.
another (cheap) alternative is to buy a fiberglass one from MarkscustomKitts.com |

| Where can you purchase ABS headliners? The headliner in my Cherokee is beginning to sag and rattle. |

if you want a cheep fix you'd have to stitch it to the foam backing. this way it cant sag

| 1AAuto on e-Bay sells alot of them. I'm considering them for my 89 when I get around to the headliner. Don't know if they have Cherokee ones though. |

I dont have a headliner so I dont have that problem.... Im just trying to figure out how to smooth out the underside a little more. I think I am going to build my own and cover it with my own material to match. I have seen them on 1A auto on ebay like al hasse said, and I saw a couple of them and they look good! _________________
