Re: reglueing headliner in cabin ?

If your headliner is similar to an automobile's, then it's laminated to a thin foam rubber and the foam deteriorates and the headliner de-laminates. If it's possible to remove the entire headliner from the boat and re-glue it, it would work a lot better. If you can remove it, you can buy vinyl/foam laminates at a piece goods/fabric store and just replace it. If not, maybe you can try to glue it or tack it back up with some type of clips or mechanical fasteners? Good Luck!
