The headliner in my wagon is falling down, and the foam is falling out. What is my best option? All new liner? recover? Any suggestions for where to go? I've been doing some looking and I haven't found much.

Recover. Some fabric stores stock the foam backed cloth in a limited selection of colors.

I personally would avoid the online "specialty" suppliers, as their per yard prices are pretty steep. A local trim shop should be able to hook you up if it's a color that's not common in the fabric stores.

Be forewarned, the boards (there are 2 in a wagon) will be very brittle. You can use drywall screen tape and epoxy to reinforce it as needed. Pull the old fabric off, and use either a wire brush or DA sander to remove the old foam crumbles. Contact cement for the fabric and board, and you're done. I have NOT had good luck with some of the aerosol contact adhesives...I use hardware store contact cement and a brush...just have to make sure not to saturate the fabric with it.
