HEADLINE-ANY NEWS?

Hiya. Today I managed to snag the headlining of Gladys, my March 1962 , 4- door, whilst easing out (unsuccessfully) some DIY tools and materials.
I've caused a really small rip in the headlining, a few centimetres (less than an eighth of an inch) at the most.

I would like to repair this small tear but am unsure as to the best solution.

I could sow it, or glue it together, however I've heard of certain repair kits that are supposed to be available.
Any ideas or tips would be most gratefully received.
Best wishes
JOHN

If you go to a fabric shop you should be able to get invisible repair kits (I think ones called wonder weave or something) these are basically powdered glue, you put powder on a seperate piece of fabric, align your tear over it and then iron.
