The 76 has a giant cardboard form that is used instead of the traditional metal rods that run across the ceiling. The factory used a black (in this case) perforated headliner fabric that was spray glued to the cardboard backing. The foam eventually turns to dust and the fabric it was attached to droops. You can purchase a large section of just the thin foam, spray glue it to the cardboard and then spray glue the original black fabric to the foam. Like a giant Oreo cookie. No need to buy new headliner fabric when the original still is OK.
