the previous owner of my F25 removed a small portion of the headliner material , Im guessing to service some of the wiring under it,,, its about a two foot section that was removed along with the covering molding
My question is, now, it seems it has shrunk and dosent quite reach the original location,,,
any tricks to get this to ,, stretch a little,,? If not maybe I can cover it with a larger , broader piece of molding. Its a shame, being that the liner is in outstanding condition, so Id like to return it to its original spot.

This only applies if the headliner is hung and not glued to the surface; not neccessarily an F25 application. I find it's best done when it's hot out or get the cabin as hot as practical to work in. I find the material stretches better that way and when the temp gets back to normal, the material tightens up and minimizes sagging. Just insure first that it hasn't gotten britle over time or you'll creat a bigger problem. There are some folks here that have redone thier headliners, I'm sure they'll pitch in with some advice.

thanks Big D, thats a good idea, its not a large section at all, Ill try to post some pictures tonight if I get a chance,
I can heat up the cabin, even though its Florida , this time of year gets a little cold in the am,
