The Lining of my roof(inner) is Loose and hanging. Any way i can fix

[05omegav6]

Possibly yes. Remove it as per the guide in the how to/maintenance section.

The lining has 3 layers which are all glued together, making a light and reasonably rigid panel:
1. very thin fibre glass.
2. a 3mm layer of foam.
3. a material layer.

The chances are that yours has got wet at some point, either leaky sunroof drains or condensation. The foam can then degrade over time, and once this happens there is very little holding the fabric layer on. If your car has a sun roof then it may be possible to spray an aerosol glue on to the back of the fabric without taking the panel out. Just remove the trim from the sun roof opening and carefully peel the fabric away enough to reach the bit that's sagging. Be careful not to stretch it too much though.

If the foam layer has disintegrated completely, the the only guaranteed fix is to replace with a good second hand one.

Replacing makes sense if you have to remove it in order to try to fix it.
