Headliner repair needed

Driving around the other day with the windows open I noticed that the headliner cloth near the rear window was sagging and roiling in the breeze. Seems to have separated from whatever it's supposed to be attached to. Fortunately it is not ripped, just sagging Anybody know a good place to get this fixed in the Philadelphia/Cherry Hill area?

Most auto parts stores sell "headliner adhesive"---messy but works. Good Luck

Mine was sagging in the front in another car. I had a guy who replaces headliners glue it back as a temporary measure but it didn't hold for long. From what I understand, there is no substitute for replacing the whole thing. Reason being there is a foam layer between the cloth and the roof that dries out and the material separates. If you are successful with the glue approach, please let us know how that turns out.
