Thanks for the advice but I found a used one on ebay for $20.this AM.
Mine got stuck in the mechanism and my mechanic had to bend it to get it out.
Again my mechanic helped me replace the entire headliner a few months ago (was drooping), he knows all the tricks and did it in about 45 minutes. If you follow the rules or go by the book it is quite a job. It's easier to tear out and then replace it completely. Similar to what?he had to do with the sunroof liner.

I had the same problem and used the 3M (headliner adhesive) stuff I
had left-over from my
Pontiac Fiero. It lasted about 1-2 days and then was sagging again.
I hope you have better luck.

Now that I think about it -- probably not.
I didn't have instructions with it as it was part of a headliner
kit that I didn't have anymore.
I guess this gives new meaning to RTFM :-)

Spark plugs look OK
Seven cylinders measure 155 for compression

Sounds like an oil ring is worn on the one cylinder. What is "quite a bit?"

Im not sure about the USA but here any car spares shop will sell it.. Like
has been said you need high temperature spray glue..
the standard stuff will
not hold in hot weather.
I bought some from ebay recently.

I have the same problem, with an intact, but drooping headliner in my 1990
SEC.
Where can I get the spray adhesive and how hard is it to take out the liner
to work on it?

I took the one out of my SEC, re-glued the headliner gray material to it,
and put it back in. There are many fabrics out there available for this,
just make sure you use the 3M high temperature spray adhesive (#8090?) for
this.

Hello Guys,
Anybody have a used sunroof HEADLINER (the interrior cover) they would
like to sell?
I need it for my 1987 SEL, but don't know if it is the same for all 126
cars. I'm not sure if they are all the same color either. Mine is that light
grey color.
Let me know at drhpat at aol.com
