1995 31' Open with headliners in near perfect condition but one is now sagging on one side.
Thoughts on how to glue or otherwise re-attach?
Thank you!

In ‘95, did they do the headliner in individual panels that you can remove, or is it one bit run? If the panels, about the only way to do it is remove the panel, remove the staples holding it in place, and reglue.
If it’s not in panels, I’d leave it till it gets as bad as you can tolerate because it’s a much bigger job.

Thank you very much. The boat has the panels you mention and I'll try removing and regluing. Since I should know more than I do know, can you recommend a glue?
Thank you again!

I’d use the 3m spray adhesive. You can pick it up from most anywhere (Lowe’s, HD, etc). I think the “90” is the strongest.

After you repair, keep the humidity down in the cabin. Humidity and heat causes the headliner to fall. Make sure your cabin bilge is bone dry.
