If you want to do it right, it is a little more complicated than some have said. The headliner is made of the fabric you see falling, and a board that attaches to the actual roof of the car. To make it easy, remove the board and fabric. To do this remove the interior trim pieces holding up the board, then remove the board and fabric, lay it on a table, take off the fabric and any residual glue that is left. Then purchase glue from an auto parts store designed to glue interior trim. Ask the guy if you have ?s. Once the headliner is glued to the board, you can install the board and the trim pieces, and it should not fall down for at least 10-15 years.

I've had this problem with a couple cars in the past, and there's no real easy way to fix it yourself. If it's just a small spot, you might try cutting a small hol in the fabric, spraying some fabric glue in, and slowly scraping the fabric toward the hole till it holds. Mind you, this is only a temporary fix as it will fall again. The only way of fixing it right is to take it out and let a professional fix it for you.

FIAT guy is correct. The silly things are glued on, as opposed to mechanically fastened. Some vehicles use both glue and a few mechanical fasteners. After some years of exposure to sun/heat, the glue dries out and no longer holds.
It's EASY to do, but time consuming. You will need to remove all the assorted plastic trim pieces at the edges of the headliner in order to pull it down and replace the glue.
But it DOES work !

correct- take the entire cardboard liner and remove all leftover liner from backing a firm bristle brush works quite well on the leftover foam.Look in the phone book and your city will have dealers that sell the material to reapply to cardboard backing-take an old piece with you to match color as well as possible.Lay the cardboard backing flat - i use formica glue to reattach the new liner it holds quite well.Attach and let dry overnight trim the excess off and reinstall.If you can turn a screwdriver this is entirely to easy to pay someone for.

Some people use Aqua Net hairspray. We just went to the store and got these little spirally type spikes that you "screw" into the liner and it holds it up in place. Seems like it's working, too!! Go figure!

at your nearest auto parts store they sell what is called (3M Tacky glue) it comes in a spray bottle. You will have to bring it down spray the roof and beging attaching the liner. It can get messy so please lay a plastic down put some gloves on and wear safety goggles.
