Making a new fox headliner

[TurboFox]

I might splurge and buy some foam backed automotive suede.

Looks champ to me. No one ever looks up there anyhow. I had the headliner out of my '85 for over a month, I don't think anyone ever noticed.

I'll take two for a '93 only Hatch with sunroof...

That would be awesome, but a lot of work. I'm not a big fan of fiberglass work and it would probably take a lot of time to make sure everything looks proper and that there are no gaps.

Foam and fabric on the other hand is quite forgiving.

When i made the rear seat delete for my old coupe i used spray on contact cement to keep the vinyl on the underlay without wrinkles. Hardest part is wrapping the corners and edges without getting creases and seams on the finished side. But the spray glue helped.

spray on contact cement unfortunately is not heat rated and will loosen up over time with the incar temps we experience in the summer. Best bet is to wrap the material around the edges and use some industrial strength adhesive like those from 3M. Expensive and a pain to use, but worth it, especially give a headliner is the only trim piece mounted upside down - and in the warmest location to boot.
Saggy headliner is not exactly sexy, plus it might interfere with your forward vision, lol

Ive used spray on adhesive twice now never had a sag. But the sunroof opening holds everything tight.

I bought the 3M stuff when I redid my '85. I think it lasted a month before it started to sag again. This was on a Sand Beige cloth headliner so it's not like I could just go order one (which has changed recently). Staples crossed my mind a million times, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Did it have a sunroof? Cause on sunroof cars you have to pull it over the lip and glue it to the actual car? Mine stayed for 10 years...

It was a sunroof car. It started sagging in the rear corners by the quarter panel.
