Re: how do i fix this?

Personally, I'm not quite the upholstery guy myself either. I'd probably take it to one of the auto upholstery shops here in the area and have them put a new headliner in. That's what I did with my old car (which was a hardtop) they charged me $100. I took it out myself and saved a little money there. I imagine it might be even cheaper for you as yours is a T-top car and wouldn't need as much fabric as a hardtop. Just a suggestion...

You can do it yourself. Use some new fabric and attach it with 3M spray fabric adhesive. Go to a fabric store, they'll have everything you'll need. It's cake.

Another option is replace it with an aftermarket ABS plastic unit - Eckler's Camaro sells them.

There are stores on the net that sell full headliners for around $150 so, i would suggest going that rout rahter then trying to stretch that up and over the lip and rist it ripping somewhere else from the tension after time
