Default Fabric on Moonroof slider

The fabric that is on the slider under my moonroof is falling down, has anyone experienced this? and maybe solved this problem? I will post pictures in a little bit when I get home

Thanks

Ar15fonsi, run to your local auto parts store and see if you can find some "3M Upholstery glue". It will come in a large can and can be had for like $8 as I recall. From there, pull on the fabric some to get a large edge exposed so you can spray into the area between the fabric and the support for the cover. Give it a good spray (try not to saturate the fabric), wait about 30 seconds to let the glue get tacky and then you press the fabric back into place.

It may be advisable that if you have some surfaces in the area you don't want the glue overspray to touch, to cover them with either masking tape or use a mix of masking tape and newspaper. That way the glue gets on the tape/paper and not on say the headliner.
