Do you mean headlining? I think the best option is to replace it

Depends where it's sagging, either adhesive velcro strips or Poundland do spray adhesive aerosol cans.

Regluing/replacing the headlining means removing it, which means removing all of the trim pieces on the roof pillars then winkling the headliner out through a door opening. It is a big awkward enough job that it would make sense to get a professional to do it as you would only want to do it once. For the same reason it would make sense to use a quality spray adhesive designed for the job.

If you have a bulge rather than an end that’s come away, can you use spray adhesive straight on to it? I’m guessing not as the glue would land on the visible side and not penetrate to the cloth underside behind that mates onto the foam backing?
How have folk tackled this? My tourer has a sagging bulge on the roof lining near the tailgate? |

Gripfill would soak through the material surely?
As said, your choices are get some decent adhesive that's meant for the job & try to do a patch up job, remove the headliner complete & replace the material (after cleaning off the remaining glue on the actual headliner base) or take it to a professional trimmer & have it replaced. |

If it's just coming down at the very front or rear then some map pins are a cheap and reasonably effective way of holding up a small section.
However replacing the headlining is not the problem job you might think as long as you go about it methodically. The only tools you need are a screwdriver, a socket and a trim puller. If you can get an assistant to help with getting the old one out of the car and wriggling the new one in it's even easier (although even this isn't essential). I did one recently and it took about 4 hours including breaks for fags and tea.
