Headliner
I'm looking at getting my headliner replaced, and one of the places I called said that they could do it in 2 hours. Can someone do a good job in 2 hours, or does it take longer than that?

when mine was replaced, it took the local "repair/paint/roofing" shop [yes I said roofing, they do cars, and roofs.. strange huh?] Well they didn't have the same OEM color as mine, but it looks awesome with a great looking 2 tone. It took them 48 hours to have the car ready, so I am not sure how much of that time was actually working, I don't remember how much it cost, or how much labor since it was 5 years ago. To me, 2 hours sounds a little short, especially if you run into any problems, but i'd say something around 3..

I have 2 spots in the back above the rear window that is coming loose. Is there any way to fix it before it gets out of hand? If so, how much does something like that cost? I know it varies from state to state but I would like a rough estimate. Thanks for your input!!!

cheap way, spray adheisive [sp?], put some on the mounting for the headliner, and a small amount on the fabric. wait for it to get tacky, then stick it on there. If you want to do a good job, you can yank it all down, and reglue or completely replace the whole thing, or send it off to be professionally done.
