I Figured out a way to fix it permanently!(well it has lasted 2 months so far) All you need is a Hand-held steam cleaner, an absorbent Paint roller, and a friend. To make this work, you need one person on the steamer, and one person on the roller. The steam man needs to steam the headliner slowly, while the roller man follows the steamed area with the roller and rolls the headliner flat and works out the wrinkles. The reason why this works is because the steam melts the glue while re-hydrating it. the roller absorbs the excess water from the fabric/glue, at the same time as working out the wrinkles.


This is the steam cleaner I used:

I would recommend a somewhat dense roller, I haven't used a sponge style roller so I cant recommend or discourage use of it, I used one that looks like this.

What my Headliner used to look like, I will post some pictures of what it looks like now when I get a chance.
