    Hey guys I just got my 4 door back on the road after setting in the garage for a year and now it has developed an odd problem. If I have any of my windows down in my maverick and go above 60 mph my headliner wants to pop down and I have to slow down before I can push it back up . I replaced the headliner 3 years ago but I have never had this problem before :hmmm:. I`m about ready to bring it to an upholstery shop and have them re-replace the headliner .
    I was just curious if anyone else has had the same issue or not .

    I gess the bows somehow got weak or I didn`t get them wires hooked up, I prolly screwed them up with my poor attempt at replacing my headliner . I was playing with the car again today and opened up the vents went for a drive and no more falling headliner . I gess with the vents closed it made a vacuum and the headliner wasn`t strong enough to hold itself up.
