a good and cheap thing to do is take it off, sweep off the old padding, paint the fiberglass ceiling whatever color you want and put it back

tear the whole thing out (including the fiberglass) and bed line or rubber-undercoat the roof.

I would say take it down. Go to your local fabric store and pick one that you like 3 yards to be safe(mine 30 bucks) along with 2 or 3 bottoles of glue. I say redo it the right way.

hers mine with a new junk yard overhead console.
