Sagging headliner issue

Anyone fixed headliner sagging issue? Mine is just starting to come off from front driver area and spreding. Best solution is to redo it but I really like the OE anthracite. Can't seems to find OE fabric. (OE is shiny and darker than closest match I can find)
Anyone who had fixed with Adhesive? Or possible to source OE fabric?

No. I haven't.
I did not find genuine fabric yet and undecided dark Alcantara which is available.

I re-did my sunroof fabric 6 months ago and today my headliner just came loose DIY time again again...

For the sunroof I reused the old fabric which turned out great. Planning on trying the same again.

I spoke to a fabric work shop, they said old fabric cannot be re used. There is a foam between the fabric and the hoodliner.

Reason why it collapses is that the foam deteriorates overtime. Mostly due to parking under the hot sun.

Re- foam is needed to bond fabric to the hoodliner. I don't think fabric can be reused, since it has been already glued. Doubt it will adhere again.

Can't seems to find OE anthracite headliner fabric anywhere.
They look very different to what is available, diamond shaped design and sparkling shine to it.

For my sun roof I just washed off the foam and used some spray upholster glue. Still sticking but who knows

If it is only arround sunroof, it might not spread. Mine no sunroof, sagging and continues to spread slowly.
