    Headliner sagging towads front panel ( how to fix? )

    Hey fellas I have a 95 E36 Vert, It has the semi auto top and the headliner is sagging from the front where the handle is to release the roof.
    The front has a plastic panel across the front. Is there any easy way to fix my headlinder towards the front? Im hoping I can remove the handle
    and the front panel and re-attach it somehow.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I searched on here for headliner in the convertible section but didn't see much that addresses this.

    Thanks in advance, Anytime I drive with windows down and top up its a pain.

    I too removed my headliner. I think if you take the headliner down you will see that the drooping is caused by where the headliner attaches to the bows. I am not sure if they can easily be fixed, since I just removed mine and I no longer remember what their structure was. Taking it down to have a look is very easy at least on the fully auto top - just take out the center screw in the "handle" area and the front of the headliner will drop down. You should be able to see what's up with the bows that way. Or yo can also peek in from the sides without dropping the front. If it is drooping by the front plastic piece I believe it is held in by a few screws there, so taking the screws out and re-applying them should do the trick. Again, just lower the plastic piece and have a look.
