Editing Headlining (section)

===And the end result?===

Well I took a bit of advice from the marine reupholsters and suppliers of the contact glue in NOT using a roller to smooth it out, as they suggested it made force the glue through the foam backing and onto the surface of the cloth face. 

I started in the middle with the roof on its back, and aligned the ribbing width-ways. Whilst choosing a side to work on I tried to keep it taught but smooth from the inside out, focusing on concave/inside corners and creases until I reached the edge where the window glass rubber sits. I tried to get it as close as I could right around the edge. 

I'm not sure how much extra effort it is but if I was to do this again I would remove the rubbers so the fabric could go behind rather than what I attempted which is a straight edge to butt up to the rubber seals.

As I had my expanding foam ready to reinstall I was able to roll over the rear crease knowing that the edge would be hidden by the foam.

I left it to dry for several hours although to be honest you've probably only got 30 mins before any further adjustment is impossible. I am pleased with the result and I'd give it 9.5/10 as I have accomplished my mission with no saggy headlining. The 0.5 is just my opportunity for improvement along the window seal edges as these are noticeable if looking upwards with the door open... not a common activity as I'm sure you'll agree.

FYI the wavy 'stripe' is actually dashboard reflection.
