i had the local interior joint redo mine. new fabric and all. spent $90

no, took the whole truck there. they took it out, recovered it and put it back in.

Ya. Only thing is i can't really take mine anywhere cuz its not plated or anything so i don't know what i am going to do.

If your looking for cheap, and not looking so good, but doesn't matter.  Just take a stapler and put some staples in it.  That is what my cousin did and it worked, didn't look great though.

Taken from 4x4plorer..

1. Using a phillips head screwdriver, remove the sun visors, retaining clips, over-head console and dome light from your Jeep Cherokee. The grab handles will require a Torx T-25 bit to remove an the rear seat belt upper mounts will require a Torx T-50 bit to remove.



2. Again, using a phillips head screwdriver, remove the trim along the outer edges of your roof starting from the tailgate. Leave the front 2 trim pieces loose but in place to help support the headliner as you carefully pull it out through the rear of your Jeep Cherokee. NOTE: If you decide you need to remove the rear hatch supports (shocks), support your rear hatch FIRST as it is heavy and WILL drop and bash you in the head. Yes, I know from experience...



3. Lay your headliner down on the ground with the fabric facing up. Then, carefully pull the old upholstery fabric off the being carefully not to damage the cardboard backing.



4. The remaining headliner upholstery fabric foam left behind on the cardboard backing must be removed to insure proper adhesion of the new headliner fabric. The old foam should crumble and brush off with very little effort using a coarse brush.



5. Lay out your new headliner upholstery fabric down on a clean work surface and with the foam side up. Then, slowly begin spraying an even coat of 3M Super Trim Adhesive over the entire headliner fabric foam in parallel overlapping strokes. Apply a second coat in the same fashion and in the same direction and then apply a 3rd coat perpendicular to the previous two. THIS IS KEY TO GETTING IT TO STAY UP!!!



6. Just as you did with your headliner upholstery fabric, slowly begin spraying an even coat of 3M Super Trim Adhesive over the entire headliner card board backing in parallel overlapping strokes. Apply a second coat in the same fashion and in the same direction and then apply a 3rd coat perpendicular to the previous two.



7. Allow a minimum of 5 minutes of drying time before proceeding and then, with the help of a friend, begin applying your new headliner upholstery fabric carefully onto the card board backing starting from the center edge of one end and working your way out and towards the other end. Then, using your hands, smooth out the headliner upholstery fabric with firm pressure to insure proper bonding to the card board backing.



8. Trim the excess headliner upholstery fabric along the edges of the head liner card board backing and cut out all the holes for the dome light, center console and wind visors.



9. Let everything set for about an hour and then carefully reinstall your newly upholstered headliner back into your Jeep Cherokee. Replace all the trim pieces, sun visors, dome light, center console, grab handles and seat belt mounts and you should be done.
